[QUOTE="silent_philosophy, post: 12390027, member: 343229"]I shutdown this morning as 50+ MPH gusts were predicted. I have an empty trailer, so I shutdown. When I fisrt started driving, I drove to my limits and just got lucky. Stupid. I listen to the weather and find something to do when it's bad outside. Risk Aversion is about keeping in mind what can be avoided and sticking to a boring day. Boring is safe. The storm rolling over OH and PA today was a no go. NWS has a wind advisory all day. Days like today, going slow or shutting down will save your career and your life. I got hit broadside last week in PA by a river of wind in a valley and knocked me in the other very empty lane, thankfully! More luck as there wasnt an advisory just perfect topology to get me.[/QUOTE]
