Here in southeast Alberta big winds are blowing over powerlines and starting fires the towns of Leader and Burstall are evacuated and just in the last 20 minutes the town of Empress is being evacuated fires either heading their way orclose by winds still 60-90 km. Its real hard to stop any fires with these winds hope they start going down soon.

It's howling here , highest was 89 so far
But that's minor compared to some areas I hear. Hope those wildfires in the south don't take any lives .
Several towns on evacuation orders

Is there a range of latitudes on this angry planet where winds and weather are most hospitable?
