Just curious how many jumpers missed the field? That's a good time jumping in winds like that

out of the "brave", or shall we call idiots, 8 jumpers...6 made it back. two of them turn base waaaay too late. one of the jumper's canopy folded-in because the winds were rolling off the line of trees

all it took was one load to call it the day...usually its a few till the dumbass' almost kill themselves

78mph indicated in a Chevy Cavalier. The GPS was out, so I couldn't get an accurate groundspeed reading.
