Holding on to everything around me!

Whoa, the wind is really blowing here in Sioux City area! Gusts up to 70 mph in some parts of northeast Nebraska and surrounding areas!

It’s supposed to subside around midnight, but for the time being whoa Nelly!

It’s much better than awhile ago! Still blowing, but no like it was last night.

You're already there - ?

You know it's bad when you can see light beneath the trailer tires on one side. I was once in a blowout in Iowa where the nose of the trailer was lifting up off the 5th wheel, I think I lost a few years of life from anxiety that day. Light loads, can be a problem in the wind.

Keep the dirty side down and roll between the ditches!
