    Extreme winds were way too much for parked truck

    [​IMG]

    A storm chaser in Colorado captured stomach-churning video of a parked truck succumbing to the force of high winds.

    The video was caught on I-25 in Colorado Springs on November 20, 2019, by YouTube user StormChasingVideo.

    The National Weather Service says that peak wind speeds in the area topped out at more than 90 m.p.h.

    Check out the video clip below.

    Stomach.. HA such writing drama. Truck flops over, driver gets a noggin knot. No big deal. He could have saved it pointing her into the gust. Be easier to get pulled off the grass than raised back up with all that damage etc.

    Again its preventable. NOAA is usually very good with advance information into areas that will have these winds.

    Driver had to have known it was going to go over.
    Facing the wind would be best. If not, turn the motor off and gtfo of the truck.
