I am in Colorado and had a guy say "let's go buffalo!" while I was on my walk (I was wearing a standing buffalo cap). It caught me off guard so much I didn't respond until I was 5 yards past him.
Also you don't need to hit anything to get a concussion. There is the accelleration/decelleration injury. Essentially the brain is of a consistency of soft butter and it is inside a rock hard skull. Bad things can happen without a direct hit.
Maybe I am looking at the wrong sites but what I have seen is winds are estimated to be around 14 mph and about a 10% chance of precipitation. Are there other sites that suggest we will have more?
