Glad to hear yer safe. When it gets windy, I slow down, my Explorer behaves like a weathervane. At the same time, I see other Explorer driving speeding up! I know their control is VEY tenuous. Scares me. I get the feeling, they're so unaware of thing, they have no idea how close to disaster they are.

Exactly...you know what I'm talking about. High profile van like mine, acts just like a sail.
I swear, and I'm not even exagerating (I tend to be a bit theatrical sometimes, but in this case I'm not) the wind caught my car and put me into the oncoming lane before I could do ANYTHING and I had BOTH hands on the wheel, driving with care. Just got back into my lane of traffic when the branch fell.
My heart is still pounding. I'm having a harvest blend bagel to calm myself down.
