Though complaining about the wind is one of our favorite things, we Montanans do not have a monopoly on high winds. Idaho, our friends to the west, also enjoy the odd gust from time to time.
And this time they were gale-force. On September 7, 2020, powerful winds knocked over a few trees near the Hayden Lake Country Club in Idaho, near Couer D'Alene. One tree, which appears to have been at least 80 feet tall, was blown so hard it uprooted and fell onto the country club pro shop. Luckily for us, and maybe for their insurance claim, someone was on hand to film.
