I would have thought with the fiver tailgate he had, that would have reduced drag enough that he could have handled a 90 mph crosswind. Maybe his mirrors were flipped down?

With an actual gauge on his dash, that isn't possible.

Any time they issue a "high wind advisory"

along the eastern slope of the Rockies, pay heed! Batten down the hatches, and hold on! Dually.....park it and sit it out!

YEP...........Bet the guy was headed west......that would lay him on his starboard side. The highest winds have been coming from the south...southwest.

It's not a SRW? I would have tried to outrun the wind for sure

I thought the silver paint alone would have kept him upright...

I got approved for the week off yesterday btw, not that I was worried about it.
I'm going to try and do a drive by on the campground over Christmas weekend, I'll see if any off season contact info is listed on the gate, unlikely I know, more of an excuse to rubberneck.

I found something for Doug to put in his new hauler for the trip. His bride would approve I'm sure and we all could eat well...
