Dangerous High Wind Event: 2021
Strong and dangerous winds swept through Southern Colorado throughout the day on Wednesday causing damage all across the Front Range. We saw wind gusts at or around 100 miles an hour throughout the day. The damage left behind was extensive, we gathered photos taken by our crews and viewers that recap the day.
