    Not me. We get tornados make a mess of the area now and then. The last death involved a baby through a plate glass window and thrown blocks while being chopped. That one home was never rebuilt.

    I haven't been to Wyoming since 2015.

    I can't say I miss it.

    I stopped in Casper on the way down to Salt Lake City.

    Glad I did. The conditions between here and Rawlins are very bad, as is most of I-80 all the way across WY.
    Black ice, strong winds, crashes in multiple areas, many closed roads.
    There are a couple places where the cameras show nothing but stopped traffic because of the crashes. I would hate be stuck there for all that time.

    Some reports are that it won't be cleared up until tomorrow afternoon.

    Went through there west bound the Saturday. They had signs up saying storm.was expected starting Sunday morn. So many of these drivers need CB's..if they did they might be made aware of trouble ahead. Also they run 80 plus like bats outta hell on the ice. And so many are foreigners...yep..and that's that.
     
  11. that one video with the Live stream you could hear his blinkers clicking but not a peep out of a CB. all ya hear before the crash is "JOSH!!! JOSH!!! " I assume that was the co-driver asleep in the bunk.
