I keep waiting for the year that we get a fair-weather windstorm in the eastern Gorge. Sometimes in late spring and early summer we can see gusts up to 50-60mph under cloudless skies. But occasionally it can sneak up slightly higher. It's no Crown Point but it can still get a bit exciting when you consider it's summertime with mild temperatures and no frontal storms around.

Ya that was insane a few years back, I still remember seeing all the fallen tree along the oregon coast.

A kite would be torn to shreds very quickly. (You could just fly a string instead.) It's not the wind, it's the 700 foot cliff that surrounds the parking lot you have to watch for.

Guys, you realy don't know how to walk or run in the front of such wind. Is not so hard. I thing my wind limit speed that i can walk is 160-170 mPh, don't know exactly.

[ThePsycoticboxman]

It looks like a cat 2 hurricane came to the Columbia River Gorge

That's incredible, and furthermore I am surprised how many individuals were out there. I've been up there once in winds of this magnitude and it is a very memorable experience indeed. Your video has been posted on the Fox12 Weather Blog for everyone to enjoy!
