QUOTES:
"DENVER (AP) Wind gusting to nearly 100 mph swept across Colorado on
Monday, forcing skiers off the slopes, closing highways and peeling the
roof of a high school gym while a basketball team practiced inside.
No serious injuries were reported, but the gusty weather dominated
everything from driving to walking for much of northern and central
Colorado. Gusts reached 90 mph in Breckenridge and forced the ski resort
to shut down a chair lift.
The National Weather Service issued a high-wind warning along the heavily
populated Front Range after 95 mph winds were reported in Superior. Gusts
reached 98 mph at Carter Lake near Berthoud and ranged from 79 mph to 85
mph in Louisville, Boulder and Golden.
At Monarch High School in Louisville, several students escaped injury when
a portion of the gym roof was torn off by winds. The wind overturned a
small plane at a Denver-area airport and knocked an empty tractor-trailer
on its side in Littleton, State Patrol Trooper Don Moseman said. The driver
was treated for minor injuries and no one else was hurt.
Trees were blown down elsewhere in Louisville and a roof under construction
at a new recreation center was peeled off, police said. Lafayette police
said the frame of a house under construction also collapsed. Authorities
closed Colorado Highway 93 near the former Rocky Flats nuclear weapons
plant northwest of Denver for about an hour after winds knocked down a
power line."
