Blown Away By Heavy Winds In Colorado

Recent heavy wind activity warrants this video of heavy winds in Broomfield, Colorado recorded from the corporate offices of Level3 Communications a couple years back, the last few days have been even worse that whats contained in the video. Current wind storms have been ravaging the foothills west of Denver and around Boulder again this year with winds clocked at up to 100 mph. Extremely heavy wind has caused massive property damage, stripping roofs and knocking over trees and fences. The wind also downed power lines sparking a wild fire that burned up to 3000 acres, including several buildings and homes. In a touch of irony former FEMA director Mike Brown was among the many people who had to be evacuated from the area. http://www.rockymountainnews.com/news/2009/jan/07/snow-closes-colorado-passes-wind-whips-front-range/ http://www.rockymountainnews.com/news/2009/jan/08/live-coverage-wildfires-near-boulder/
