You've got to live in the area to believe the winds that can happen in
the Boulder area.  I've lived "around" it for 20+ years, and I'm still
amazed when I hear the peak winds Boulder has.  It's not a tornado, and
not a hurricane.  It's called venturi effect, and involves straight line
winds.  It happens over there more frequently than most people would
believe.
