Eh, sounds like his friend had a bad paint job from the factory. Haven't heard of any cars getting their pant jobs ruined due to the high winds.

I see next week we'll have a high of 88. But thankfully here it's a dry heat. Today it was in the mid 70's and I needed no a/c. In Houston my a/c would've ran atleast 20 times at the same perfect temp. God I love no humidity.

Funny, I grew up in EP but now live in Houston area and I like the humidity since I always got chapped lips and/or nose bleads due to the dry air. It's all a matter of perception I guess.

Well El Paso seems to have come closer to a tornado each monsoon season with at least one really bad storm. So its not completely out of the question that El Paso could have one. EX. Salt Lake City.

In 58 years, El Paso has only had five tornadoes, 4 F1 and 1 F0. It's a rarity, but not impossible. SLC has had about 15 over the years, mostly F0 and F1 with a few F2. It can happen anywhere.

Having nose bleeds wouldn't make it a perception? And working for a living outside in the heat and humidity in Houston and now in EP makes it an even better reason why EP has better weather with it's no humidity. Houston weather is as close to hell as you can get on earth. Good riddance.

I have been keeping an eye on the weather out there, using the internet, and you have had plenty of days in the 70's I think even some 80's, that is plenty warm compared to what we have been having in Colorado.
