Unhappy Lucky call today, but sooner or later

I live on Long Island and I have to take the LIE to work (CRAP RD)

So it was extremely windy today, gusts over 45 mph, normally I

would have driven my Z b/c it doesn't get blown around as much

as my wife's 4 Runner. She's out of town so I said let me take the

truck Boring.. So I'm heading west on the LIE and the wind is

coming from the front right blowing me and others all over the

place. A couple of DUMP TRUCKS losing crude out the back but

nothing big enough to really damage anything. All of a sudden I

look ahead and see what looks like a scene from the mummy

coming at me and the other drivers. Thankfully most people

slowed down. All of the sand used for the snow and muck had

been picked from the center divider and it hit our cars with such a

force. It had to be at least 10 ft plus in height. I couldn't believe

it and all I COULD THINK ABOUT WAS THE Z and how I had left

her in the garage. So I guess I dodged a good one today

The wind was crazy today! I too opted not to drive my Z, and drove my 745i instead. Even the 745i was getting pushed around by the force of the wind.
