Gotta watch this!
Really amazing. This happened on Feb. 7.
This is truly amazing, that no one was hurt. Our local news channels in Denver were reporting on this, since we've been dealing with high winds over the past several days -- wind gusts in excess of 100mph in some mountain locations, and 70mph in Longmont CO and other locations in northern Colorado. This particular location, Elk Mountain WY, is susceptible to high winds frequently, so as stated, heed those warnings. While the trucker was going slow and had his flashers on, one can see that this is not enough. I recall a trip up to Cheyenne WY one day when a high wind warning had been issued, and just across the state line from Colorado, were 9 tractor trailers on their sides, all victims of the wind. Couldn't be uprighted until the winds died down. Heed the warnings, indeed!
