High winds affecting Las Vegas locals and visitors

The National Weather Service has issued wind advisories for Southern Nevada, which is leading to several events across the valley being canceled or postponed. Channel 13's Joe Moeller has more.

Wow, imagine living in a terrarium where nothing ever happens.
It's life. Live with it.

Exactly!

I hope NV energy does make sure we don’t lose power during this wind storm , due to the customers paid their bonuses

For those with COPD/Emphysema, those winds carrying all that fine silica into your lungs from the winds, can be deadly. When I lived in Sinless City, having COPD, I wore a mask on those windy days. Here, in Tucson, no worries, we don't get a lot of winds here, like Sinless City.

Once a year? Vegas is windy year round

[@austindarrenor]

Not really because we're surrounded by mountains.

@@austindarrenor what are you talking about ? Have you lived in Vegas for awhile ? It’s windy all the time here, especially by red rock area

@@Glocktavius_the3rdI'm a native Las Vegan. Out of curiosity I just looked at the 50 windiest cities in the US and Las Vegas isn't even on the list.
Maybe there's a breezeway effect out at Red Rock canyon but it's too far away to be considered part of Las Vegas.

@@austindarrenor Average annual windspeed for Sinless City is 9.2, lowest annual windspeeds L.A. and Phoenix with average windspeeds of 6.2. I left Sinless City due to the wind and am now in far less windy Tucson @ 7.0+.

@@michaelellringer56009.2 mph isn't wind, it's a breeze. And I think you should have been considering that when you'd look to the west at the Spring Mtns and they're crystal clear it's because it took that breeze to blow the smog and haze out of the valley. Though IDK if you get smog in Tucson. If I had my way I'd live in a town pop. 100.
