Wasn't that the Year of the Winds From Hell where trucks were being blown over and the highway kept getting shut down?
Probably so, you remember that eh! I tell ya, out there dealing with a wreck - air breather, goggles, full head cover, long sleeves taped at the cuff ..... was giving me some flashbacks from long-ago in the military! Most people think that the on-ramp gates are about snow, thats the lesser reason, primary is the wind. Hell, I think it was around 2010 there were BNSF freight cars rolled over.
