    All through Illinois it was extremely windy and I thought maybe it was just me overeacting but I guess not. I don't know where this pic was taken it came up on my facebook feed. Some people say they think it's I-90 in South Dakota or I-80. It kind of looks like I-80 in Iowa or Nebraska.

    Husband was heading toward SLC last night on 80 out of CA, and I googled the weather in a couple of places he was going through to make sure it wasn't going to be too bad. It was pretty windy and he was hauling a little over 42,000, and that was even as bad.

    These trucks are just like big moving objects waiting to turn over. Hope they are all ok.

    What is a circle??

    I had a 78 Caddy years ago that was like the broadside of a barn when the wind would hit it. We lived in the Gary, IN area then, so you know wind, wind.

    I 35 in Ok was a mess yesterday 30 car pile up . you guys be careful if it starts rocking find a hidey hole for you rookies or put the nose into the wind and stop ! especially if your empty ! laying it on its side is bad for the paint job.
