A few weeks ago when there were gale force winds of 90+mph out in the desert I was at the BARC and camping out nearby.
The metal roofing form the parking structures blew off and onto the electrical pole causing an immediate evacuation of the building
Driving away from the evacuation at the BARC I saw what looked like a 5th wheel blown over, it's side was facing the full force of the winds
I gotta say that day it was so windy I almost could not walk to my truck, the wind was lifting and blowing me away. The gravel from the road was pelting me and the cars around, there was some damage to the vehicles also.
A very dramatic sunrise that morning

Yikes, that sounds like an adventure! The section of metal roofing wrapped around the pole way up high is worth a 1000 words, heh? I'm a newbie, what is the BARC? - Jim

Great question, it stands for "Begole Archaeological Research Center", it is a tribute to Bob Begole. More info about it can be found here:
