Retreat

Did I say I had winds yesterday? I should have kept my pie hole shut. I guess I should have checked the weather first:

WIND ADVISORY

CHINLE VALLEY-CHUSKA MOUNTAINS AND DEFIANCE PLATEAU- LITTLE COLORADO RIVER VALLEY IN COCONINO COUNTY- LITTLE COLORADO RIVER VALLEY IN NAVAJO COUNTY- LITTLE COLORADO RIVER VALLEY IN APACHE COUNTY-BLACK MESA AREA- NORTHEAST PLATEAUS AND MESAS SOUTH OF HWY 264- INCLUDING THE CITIES OF...CANYON DE CHELLY...

AN APPROACHING LATE SEASON STORM SYSTEM WILL BRING SOUTHWEST WINDS OF 20 TO 35 MPH WITH WIND GUSTS FROM 45 TO 55 MPH TO NORTHERN ARIZONA THROUGH SUNSET THIS EVENING.

A WIND ADVISORY MEANS THAT SUSTAINED WINDS OF 30 TO 39 MPH...OR GUSTS FROM 40 TO 57 MPH...ARE EXPECTED. WINDS THIS STRONG CAN MAKE DRIVING DIFFICULT...ESPECIALLY FOR HIGH PROFILE VEHICLES. CONSIDER SECURING LOOSE BELONGINGS ON YOUR PROPERTY.
