You know it's windy when...
... there's so much dust in the air that you can't see the Organ Mountains (about ten miles away).
You know it's very windy when... you can't see Tortugas Mountain ("A" Mountain), about two miles away.
You know it's super-de-duper windy when... you can look directly at the sun and not be turned away by the glare. (It was so dim, it looked like the moon.)

Cooped up as I am inside at work, I only know it's windy because I have computer readouts to tell me so. And mostly I know about it being windy in Arizona. Because it's really windy at Kitt Peak, and a certain radio telescope is being all complainy about it...
Also, really, who wants to see the sun, anyway? :)
Wind blew my fence over. The posts are metal, too. Saturday, I put an eye bolt at the top of the post and another in the retaining wall they are sunk in. Then I strung a steel cable between them. Tension is maintained with a turnbuckle.
I don't think the wind will be knocking over my fence like that again. It'll have to find an entirely new method.
A turnbuckle? The wind will have to throw some wrestlers at it the next time.
