We have something similar here in NL, at a place called Wreckhouse. The wind funnels through the mountains when it blows from the Southeast and reaches devastating wind speeds and gusts (160 kph+) which routinely blow over trucks. The name 'wreckhouse' was originally given for blowing trains off the tracks.
