Wind god provoked

I put my 5th wheel up on jacks this morning to do brakes and bearing repack.

Wind god was provoked and responded with this:

well rats. Tried to cut and paste the METAR from Rocky Mountain Metro Airport but I guess I'm provoking the forum editor god as well. Something in the paste is flagged as invalid formatting. Nothing special in what I pasted - it's all text ... or at least appears to be. Anyway, the part I wanted to point out is the winds... as follows:

Winds: from the W (260 degrees) at 69 MPH (60 knots) gusting to 86 MPH (75 knots)
  • Same thing happened to me. Doing all three axles at once and had trailer on the 6 leveling jacks. Had a micro-burst come by in the evening with 50-60 kt winds. Kept waiting for the trailer to tip over but it survived fine.
