Also one got blown over into the water on the Chesapeake Bay Bridge. I think it was last week.

Yeah, you have to slow WAY down in heavy wind and really should just park it. Unfortunately most drivers don't know the meaning of slow down nor do they know the meaning of adequate following distance.

Had to look it up after that video. Luck had it that no one was in the cruiser since they were attending at other blown over vehicles

I was once parked broadside to the wind at the J in Kingman, AZ and began to wonder if the wind was going to tip me and the Sprinter over. Then I realized that no, that's just silly. A few moments later I sat there and watched the wind rip a trailer from its 5th wheel and blow it over as the driver was sitting there in line to get fuel. I then changed my parking place so that was oriented facing into the wind. :D

I HATE that Chesapeake bridge. I won't cross it without going to the Weather Chanel and checking the wind speed. If it's 10MPH and up I will take the long way around
