Thursday

... I was in southern Arizona on Interstate 8 headed west when a good buddy on my CB warned of high winds in, I think it was the Gila Mountains, to the west. I parked my camper van in the lee of a motel and took a room for the night.
When I got up into the hills the next morning, there were campers and semis lying tipped over with all with the paint sandblasted off their windward sides.
