Alberta Cliper?

KSTP.com - UND plane reported missing

We had nasty, nasty wind yesterday that just didn't stop--a regular Alberta Clipper....cold, strong...they have been known to move trucks on the highways, so extreme caution is needed when you got out in one. As a matter of fact, if you are talking and the wind picks up while your mouth is open you will feel like you are being smothered in the brief instant.

I simply can not imagine the instructor allowing that plane to go up no matter how experienced the student pilot was---I don't know why they would risk it.

Here's hoping all is fine and they were able to put down somewhere safe.
