Oh, the March Wind Doth Blow!


March "came in like a lamb" here in Northern Arizona, so I imagine it will "go out like a lion". If the old adage is true, we can expect some wild winds toward the end of the month. I just hope they won't have the strength of the wind that pushed over these two trucks and swept them toward Nevada's Walker Lake, close to the town of Hawthorne.

My oldest son John, happened to be driving the white truck in the foreground when the wind imps struck He said one minute he was cruising down the road and the next he was lying on his side in a truck that was lying on it's side. John got out of his truck and running back to the red truck, found a Hispanic couple along with a young child all in a state of confusion, but not seriously injured. He got their truck engine turned off and hustled them out and away from the trucks, and made the call to report the freak accident. And it was in March....a couple of years ago.
