But any way it made my TRAILER hot with electricity. It almost fried 2 dogs and myself. Now I call it the valley of the dancing devils. Nice place to live but windy 364 days a year.
I do volunteer work at Eagle Academy on Colorado in Golden Valley. This whole area the river & Golden Valley get real hard winds. Kingman get winds but not as bad as those areas.
Kyota, Nevada gets real hard winds also. Where I grew up we got winds one year over 120 miles per hour. But 50-80 MPH winds were not uncommon. I was told a long time ago that the wind only blows twice a year in Bullhead City. 6 months from the North & 6 months from the South.
Anyway, we are here for a couple of years regardless.
