Ooops! Yep, I've seen that happen. Not fun at all! At least he's not blocking the road!

I had a girlfriend who drove this well, once.
Fascinating shot, Steve...

Woops, must have been rather shocking to the driver, I hope he was ok.

Right place right time... great shot...

You were brave to just get out and get the shot, Steve. I hope the high winds subside soon.

Sure glad I wasn't driving and there were no cars or truck going the other way!

Thanks Hal. It is not my usual photographic interest but I couldn't pass it up.

Amazing to blow so far and an excellent Press-type photo Steve.

Good set of tyres!

Last night our winds were gusting over 110 km/h coupled with rain. On the way to work this morning there were trees down all over the place and I passed three of these toppled transports; it appears that in all cases the drivers walked away. The wind was blowing from camera right in this shot, so I suspect that the truck was blown across the highway.

Ouch... did this truck blow all the way across the highway?

It must have been one hell of a wind, hopefully everyone walked away ok.
