A Colorado couple said they are living in a 'horror movie' after their property became inundated with tumbleweeds.
Strong winds over the weekend in the Colorado Springs area brought a large number of tumbleweeds, which took over the resident's property.
A high wind warning was in effect over the weekend for much of southern Colorado, with some areas seeing wind gusts as high as 60 mph, ABC Colorado Springs affiliate KRDO reported. "There's a mountain, and I mean a mountain on the right side of the driveway," she said of the tumbleweed pile-up."I kind of panicked," said Gross, who feared she and her husband wouldn't be able to get out in the event of an emergency.
"The county does not remove tumbleweeds from private property," Stewart said in a statement to ABC News. "Unfortunately, the plant is widespread and beyond control as it is found in every state in the U.S., except Alaska and Florida."
