Glad you and your Father made it out safe, TriPac.. Hope he mends okay. I've seen those micro-bursts a few times. Amazing. I read about an even rarer weather event that is really scary, more so than a tornado even. It involves a very rare phenomenon where a particular jet stream will dip way way down to the Earth's surface and make contact with the ground. Since jet streams travel at high speeds, some at 200 to 300 mph, a jet stream which makes contact with the surface can cause extreme damage, with no warning what-so-ever. Sobering event!

60mph almost took me over but had ultra light tall load up front felt almost like the drives shoved way over while the steers and rear of trailer stayed straight PITA to keep from over steering.

Not that it matters other than curiosity how much weight was in the box.
