A natural wind tunnel the likes that would make Boeing jealous! The Crown Point observatory near Corbett, Oregon, noted for its extreme winds, really outdid itself with some unofficial peak gusts of over 100mph (160km) 1/20/2014. The official wind gauge hit 87mph (140km) but those with hand-held wind gauges recorded gusts of 103mph (165km) with another person, Steve Pierce with the Oregon Chapter of the American Meteorological Society, registering an unofficial gust of 115mph (185km)!
