I managed to get to a truck stop, and no sooner than I set the brakes I heard the warning siren go off. Not fun....I was lucky, the tornado was several blocks away, but it still managed to overturn some big rigs right there on the interstate...
Here between Reno & Carson City, there's a stretch of 4 lane in Washoe Valley. There's one of those huge LED signs that says. Trucks/trailers not advised or T/T prohibited. And this sign lites up a lot. The wind off the mountain at Lake Tahoe is intense at times. There's usually a news crew there to get videos of the drivers that ignore the sign.
