Just got a report from someone who spotted 8 overturned big rigs driving from Los Angeles to Fontana.

That'd be about normal for this type of wind. I drive that route every day and many semis ignore the high wind warnings. I've seen too many 18 wheelers driving on 9 wheels. 8O

So who’s the insurance/financial whiz here? What’s this gonna do to rates? Economy?

I drive that route every day and many semis ignore the high wind warnings. I've seen too many 18 wheelers driving on 9 wheels.

Now that would be a scary sight. Especially if the truck was leaning your way. I was once driving back from Los Angeles and was in lane number 2 doing about 65 mph on a mildly congested freeway. Then all of a sudden noticed a truck tire traveling in the lane to my right doing about 65 mph, all by itself. Thought about it for a few seconds, and then figured that the tire was gonna go nuts any second and it would not be pretty. So I swerved over to lane 1 and floored it. Figured that the lone tire did not have the ability to speed up. Watched in my rear view mirror as the traffic behind me began to slow down. Then the tire went nuts right near an overpass and bounced all over the place. Did not hit any vehicles that I could tell.
