Spring Winds


Here in the high Chihuahuan desert of west Texas it gets pretty windy in the spring. The dust/sand storms are legendary.

I just checked with the weather bureau at the El Paso International Airport. The winds are currently gusting to 68 mph (109 km/hour). These trash cans are merrily sliding down the street with the cars desperately swerving to try and avoid hitting them.
