Hurricane-force winds wreak havoc across Colorado this week
Severe winds have disrupted events and services across Colorado this week. Gusts reaching hurricane-force speeds of 60 to 90 mph swept through parts of the state on Wednesday. The extreme weather forced cancellations and power shutoffs to reduce fire risks. Forecasters had earlier warned of dangerous wind conditions, though specific meteorologists were not named in reports. By Wednesday, the Mile High Tree and the Mile High Drone Show in Denver were both cancelled due to the high winds. Organisers cited safety concerns as the reason for the last-minute changes. The cancellations and power cuts will remain in effect until conditions improve. Residents are advised to stay updated on weather alerts and follow safety guidelines. Authorities continue to monitor the situation as winds gradually ease.
