I haven’t seen this kind of wind in years. I guess that’s expected when the temp drops from 75 to 50 in two hours. Anyone else caught up in this storm?

It has died down in the Salt Lake Valley. I hear it's going to be the worst in Utah County and will last until about midnight. Winds up to 65mph.

We recently moved to Lehi. It’s been steady since about 5:00 pm. The gusts in the early evening were as strong as anything I can remember in years. It’s still strong even now at 10:30 pm.

It's terrible where I live. After the 3 days of straight wind we already had earlier this week, I'm so over it!

Agreed. I think yesterday was about the only day I can remember this week where we didn’t have wind. It’s been windy but very little rain

Where in Lehi? We’re on the west side a little closer to Saratoga. It’s been pretty bad. We just had a bunch of trees planted today and they’re now going to need serious straightening.
 
It’s not just there. I’ve been saying for the last two months that it’s like we have 25-40mph winds two to three times a week now, I swear. And it’s been like that for at least six months...maybe 8-10.
 
I recently bought an inflatable boat and have been wanting to take it out on the water but haven't been able to due to it being windy everytime I have a day off.
First world problems.

Sucks for everyone camping on memorial day weekend I'm sure

That’s called a raft.

Joking, what’s your inflatable boat look like.

Pretty nice boat for less than 200 bucks. Maximum weight capacity is 1300 lbs. 12 feet by 5 feet. 4 fishing pole holders. Can put a motor on it.

I built a carpeted plywood floor for it to so I can stand in it or set up chairs in it. Might end up mounting some swivel fishing chairs in it.

Just sold my 4 man Intex inflatable. How I hated that thing. Would have made a better sail boat than raft with how the wind took it. Then when I took it down the Provo river, one of the oars snapped in two.

Not great for Utah lakes because it's often windy. It's an elevated desert here.
