Not if yer a flatlander, when the wind blows hard Kansas?

NV has wind storms, almost like sand blasting your car.

Gusty, northerly winds are expected behind the cold front. NAM
BUFKIT forecast soundings indicate mixing to ~850-800 mb, which
should result in wind gusts of 40 to 50 mph at the surface. Some
locations in northwest Oklahoma could see wind gusts around 55 mph
based on forecast soundings.

Front arrived about 5:30AM here; peak I've monitored was 48 mph, but the
station is only about 15 ft off the ground and somewhat in lee of the
silo instead of at 10 m and an open area...
