So fasten your seatbelts, here we go ---
I think Wyoming is God's wind manufacturing facility, Elk mountain blows over one or two trucks a week

The strongest straight-wind I've ever seen tho was between Ogden and the Idaho state line, coming off the mountain range, blowing trucks and RV's off the road like they were toys. It was so strong, even trucks that were parked on the shoulder were getting blown over! It must have been in the late 90's... crazy

... have I told that story before? I'm feeling deja-vu lol
