Butch - you should check out a song by Corb Lund from Alberta called Chinook Wind. It rings so true. Of all the weather we get here in the foothills the one that bothers me the most is the wind (especially in the winter.) 'Course, in my recent trip through West Texas and Oklahoma the winds out there further east were bad too. Dust storms in Midland and I heard storm/tornado sirens in OKC. Had to shut the last window one night because the dust was blowing in even past the day/night shade. Fires and flash floods I can handle ;) I hate it enough to not proscribe to the Sleepy theory of leaving the jacks up and pointing in to the wind; I anchor that baby down with the jacks most times and dream about outriggers for my chassis. My airbags really add to the rocking surprisingly for such a heavy rig.
Though.....I never liked tornados and at least the Chinooks in the foothills don't bring them.
It starts:
"I was born with the Chinook wind howlin in my ears
That Rocky Mountain gusty sh*t, it dried me out for years
Way back I think my grandpa had a rope horse by that name
All I know is, God, here comes that old west wind again"
