    Anyone running Wyo. and Colo. today, these winds have been brutal, Colorado didn't bother to put up a high wind restriction and had at least one, maybe two blow overs between Wellington and Cheyenne. Wyo. had a wind restriction up on 25 since about 7am.

    So I'm guessing somewhere around the 50+ mph range is too much crosswind empty?
