Tumbleweed Migration Takes Over Eastern Colorado

Occurred on October 23, 2022 / Calhan, Colorado, USA

: The eastern plains of Colorado were hit by a great tumbleweed migration! Winds hitting as high as 50mph were unrooting and blowing tumbleweeds so hard they were literally blocking entire roads, trapping people in their homes and cars, and causing fires. This went on for an entire 12 hours or longer and caused clean-up issues for days. Clean-up crews had to plow streets like they were moving snow. School was canceled in some areas, folks couldn't get to work. I've never felt more attacked by a bush in my life!
