I sure hope your furling systems are up to this. Would scare the p... outa me.

Hey Dan

Best of luck and hope everthing works out, we had a storm in oct at 180km peeking and knocked me out. Rebuilding again.

Actually, because of where Dan is and the type of wind event we're expecting, he might actually be dead calm today.

One of these days when I go up to visit him, I'll have to talk to him about installing an ASOS (automatic weather station) at his site.  My former meteorology professor at Metro specializes in Front Range wind events, and probably could use the data.
