110 mph winds, sparked multiple fires. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=fA-VfPrpNc8
What is causing 110 MPH winds? A state away it is calm and clear.
It's common in this area just off the foothills. Relax, it's not fucking HAARP or whatever.
Can you prove it is not?
It was happening long before anyone ever thought of HAARP.
Invalid question. It's up to the person asserting something is something, you can't disprove a negative.
Edit: Though at the suggestion of people on here, I did look into that particular theory and concluded it is utter BS. The amount of energy that the array in question can produce is miniscule compared to what actually drives the weather.
Yes on the latter part, they always do. That said, fortunately the areas in question aren't generally as wooded/forest etc, so not as intense.

Could be this indeed - I'm never for sure (other than when it's unseasonably warm) if it's really a chinook event or not. Unless all downhill winds automatically are basically.
I am in Billings Montana today & its -3 with -18 wind chill. When this drops down to states with warm temps you can expect high winds & tornadoes in some states.
Yeah I have no idea about when something would technically qualify as a chinook or not.. but like you mentioned, I imagine it's a similar physics explanation for most downhill winds.
Now looking at this thing now - this looks pretty much exactly like the downhill acceleration described for sure:

It seems sometimes the warming effect is at the lower end (as mentioned in your link more like 20 deg) and sometimes at the higher end. I really am not sure what drives that difference. I.e. sometimes we get snow one day then the next a chinook wind that's like 55 deg or something and the snow just vanishes.
