Windy!!!
Yesterday two big rigs were blown off the roads. One on 395, between Carson City and Reno. The other one was on the "alternative" route that runs paralell, but at the base of the mountains. A dozen car owners reported damage while parked in the CC DMV parking lot. Flying debris was the culprit. Today the gusts are hitting 65mph.

Yeah Bill, you don't want to be running empty.
I was once following a poor old couple who were driving one of those Toyota pickups with the chassis mounted camper built on. He was getting blown all over the road and twice he had wheels off the ground. I passed him, and we waved him down and got him to park it in an arroyo till it let up. He didn't have sense enough to park it head into the wind.
