Personal Limit For Max Wind Speed

With 40k anything over 60mph sustained I am done. Like someone said above you might sheltered in some areas in N Cali with the canyons. This photo shows what's coming...

 

The NWS usually starts issuing warnings at 25mph. CHP, in my experience begins to pay attention at that point. 25-49mph is a warning/advisory. At that point it’s your call. As was stated in this thread your load is the determining factor. Your speed is as well.

Beyond that I’ve never seen a bona fide set of rules. That doesn’t mean they don’t exist, but I’m now curious and I’m going to stop the next time I scale and ask and will post my findings in this thread.

 

Hauling a light load down I-25 from Montana to Denver leads one to ask, why does Wyoming not have windmills like the Columbia river valley?

 

I’m going for it. California here I come with tall load of glass weighing 78k gross. See u guys in the news.

 

I’ve never gone over but have known 3 Drivers over the years all 3 were loaded light and blown over by 50 mph winds. I base my opinion on that info. Any chance of gusts over 45 and I’m parking preferably so wind hits back doors or front on Cab if needed.I once saw a picture of Truck lifted up by tornado and planted right side up in field. Driver said it was quite a ride! Frame of Truck was on ground.Tires were planted. No Thanks

 

Well I got to Weed when the wind warnings began. Checked NOAA radio and it said 60+ mph gusts north of here until late tonight.

I'm shut down until morning.

 

I am in Yreka now. No wind. Easy Peasy. Maybe that all changes in weed.

 

Past weed now southbound. Not bad. A few gusts around Weed only.

 

I've never seen windflow vortexing like that in the north Pacific. Weather is getting weird these last few years.
