wind

Yes Texas is no stranger to intense winds, especially this city.

Windy season is typically is at its worst in March and April, but it can rear its ugly head in The Borderland at just about any month. When the winds get cranking here in El Paso, they scream. And if we haven't seen much rain before a windy day, El Paso turns into a brown, dusty apocalypse.

There is a high-wind warning today in El Paso with possible gusts up to SEVENTY miles per hour.

The National Weather Service of El Paso recently tweeted out warning people in the borderland that Wednesday will be “CRAZY in the Borderland…. With VERY strong winds, blowing dust, mountain snow, lowland rain.”

CHRISTMAS IS COMING!!! And apparently Mother Nature got the memo and decided to grace the borderland with winter-like weather a day AFTER the official start of the Winter season (December 21st) but hey, it’s just in time for Christmas so we will take it.

El Paso weather can be strange, this video shows an extra windy/sandy day in the Borderland.

Conservatives across Texas and the country have narrowed in on wind turbines as the reason for the power outages in the Lonestar state. This is not the case.

It happened in Wyoming, but anyone from the Borderland knows it could easily happen here, too.

Tired of those nasty, dusty El Paso winds? We'll take that over what we're about to show you from Oklahoma City's KOCO-TV. A series of nasty twisters have hit the heart of America's "Tornado Alley", including one the KOCO helicopter caught demolishing this tractor trailer. (And who's FLYING A HELICOPTER in the middle of a THUNDERSTORM?!)

We may complain about the ugly winds in El Paso, but we are very blessed with the weather we have.   I am amazed at how calm the guy in this video is, considering the destruction taking place.  So what's a little wind?
