I hesitate to post here, but...

Checklist to determine whether or not a given geographic area is "windy"
1) lawn furniture is chained down.
2) mobile homes have tires or other weights applied to roof to keep them from blowing open
3) shingled roofs exist only in sheltered areas
4) trees grow no taller than 15 ft
5) fragile crops such as corn and sunflowers cannot be planted with a full expectation of harvest.

If three or more of these apply, you are in a generally breezy, maybe even windy area.
If none apply, well, you aren't.

I've lived in MI, OH, IN, and New Mexico. The midwest has moments of breeze, but these are few, and except for the occasional tornado (or other momentary anomoly) gentle as a rule.

And while the winds of NM can be calm, the standard deviation is ridiculously high. They only have the three seasons, Summer, "Not Summer", and "Wind." Microbursts & gust fronts do knock over trucks from time to time, but on the plains it is not uncommon to have 40-50 mph sustained winds for days or even weeks at a time (airport meas.)
