High winds in Albuquerque blow porta-potty down Central...

ALBUQUERQUE, N.M. — The unusually-early storm that is hitting New Mexico has been causing a lot of damage – there's power outages, flooding, downed trees, and slick roads across the state.

The wind in the metro peaked Tuesday evening at over 70 mph.

The intersection at 5th Street and Lomas was closed Wednesday because roof panels were blown off the district courthouse.

PNM officials also said some of their power line poles just snapped or were lifted from their foundation altogether.

But that's not all – a viral video shows a porta-potty on the move down Central near Tramway.

Watch the video above to see the clip or click here to see the porta-potty captured from another angle.

” ... roof panels were blown off the district courthouse.”

Roof panels on other buildings were attached as per code. Since the contractors were not political donors...

A metaphor for Albuquerque under the communist mayor.

When I was a kid, our friend Perry was using a “Dons John” When we pushed it over and it rolled down a hill. Perry had no sense of humor

My son said that Albuquerque was full of shit and he was right. Got his police training down there and every instructor had a legal “kill” to his credit. Bad city in good times. Horrible city in bad times. Just look at the Marxist fools who run it.

Was there once, in a terrific rainstorm which flooded out our would-be camp site (inside the city). Checked in at the first motel we could find. It’s name was “Son of Bates Motel”. Looked and smelled like it. Even the clean blankets had crap on them.

Went to a diner for something to eat. Looked like something out of the Old West or “The House on Haunted Hill.” Even the EPA won’t go inside it.

Only saw the painted desert from a great distance but the rest of the state looked good. I later worked on environmental cleanup cases in it and was glad to help restore it back to its original look.

Now if we could only get rid of Gov. Eva Braun Grisham and that putz Marxist Castro.

And that’s how the idea for Blue Man Crew first came to be.

My daughters husband is in the Air Force and is stationed there for a few years and she is so miserable living there especially with that governor.

Sadly, very true. Street vendors regulated to death over 25 years ago. Immediate impression was a Third World city in the US. Not a good place to visit. Was there for a convention, could not be anything but sorry for those living there, and could not wait to leave. Poverty city.

Actually, when my National Guard unit was supporting an exercise at Fort Bliss, a porta potty blew over with a trooper inside. It flipped, turned over, etc., for about 100 feet. We finally got it stopped. The soldier was uninjured. We hosed him down with a fire hose until he was clean enough to approach. We put ten sand bags in the floor of each potty after that.

Yeah, it’s sad that Albuquerque has turned into a $4!+4013 town.
