Wind storm across Montana tonight! [View all]

Geeze, we had a blast come through here half an hour ago that sounded like a freight train, made a mess out back.

I'm guessing it was >70mph when it passed through here.

When I turned on the lights out back to look, it was like one of those hurricane videos only it was fallen leaves and dust going sideways at high velocity. It lasted for over 40 seconds, I wasn't sure what to do. There's no basement here and big trees all around.

I checked the NWS and there's a wind warning on for a couple more hours!
