Hi Gang,

At 12:45 PM today I missed photographing the peak gusts but I was seeing liquid smoke over 50 feet in the air as the gusts were about ½ mile west of the Hatchery.

Still the 12:50 PM photos below of these bands of liquid smoke high above the water are impressive!

Actually there was only a 45 knot difference between the gusts and the lulls! Totally doable.

Spennie would have loved it!

Below are some more photos

Just add a couple wind turbines and it'll be a nice, mellow 10 to 50!

Just another day in the Gorge yesterday with 85 mph winds recorded at Cook, Washington around 2:30 PM. I was hiking up Dog Mtn. around noon and there was no wind at all.
