Evening slackers. Holy friggin wind. We had high wind gust this afternoon of 81 mph at the Rochester airport. Had a lot of damage including trees and wires down. Even had a CSX freight train get blown off the track between Rochester and Buffalo.

Wife and myself need to get our wills done. Have not had a need to get them done because of not having any children.

Not having kids is not an excuse to not have one..

It will stop other family members from claiming anything and securing your assets

Also outlines what to do if you are disabled..

From the pictures that I saw it was a train of intermodal units (semi trailers) that were double stacked. Pretty much a big old sail that I bet the wind pushed over causing the derailment.

When I worked for a trucking co. I saw a tandem axle trailer spun around while sitting alone in the yard in the wind.
