IL: video shows semi truck blown over during storm in Rochelle

The vid about dallas shows how much people know about trucks

 

It happened to me on May 26, 1980, on I-65, just south of LaFayette, Indiana. As the video shows, the trailer kind of leans, then just falls over, but the tractor SLAMS to the ground. Mine went over on the driver side. After a huge "WTF?!" I realized what had just happned, and that I was now in the right lane and not the shoulder. It was a tense moment to say the least. I wound up bruised and well shaken, but not really hurt. It totaled the cab on a 1979 Freightliner cab-over and only broke a couple clearance lights on the 45' van trailer. The 8000# of storm windows inside didn't fare as well.

 

Here's the 6 minutes before the truck flipped over. Southbound couldn't see the twister.
