Amazing nobody was hurt. _________________ http://windmountainproject.blogspot.com/ hilton Since 15 Aug 2008 803 Posts Opinionated Thu Feb 23, 12 6:33 am     I have heard of semis being blown over/off on the Maryhill bridge, but it's hard to imagine cross winds at river level strong enough to do that. I guess those side skirts on the trailer didn't help much. jdk Since 21 Dec 2005 333 Posts Obsessed Thu Feb 23, 12 8:47 am     maybe the tunnel was like a venturi for the wind at that spot apctjb Since 19 Aug 2007 438 Posts Obsessed Thu Feb 23, 12 5:53 pm     Seems like there has been a dramatic increase in truck traffic on Hwy 14 the past 5 years. As it is not a truck friendly road just a matter of time before more serious accidents. Used to feel okay cycling on 14 but no longer. Anyone know why the increase in truck traffic? Don't see a lot of local economic development to drive that type of traffic on a rural road like Hwy 14. kitezilla Since 22 Jun 2006 453 Posts gorge Obsessed Fri Feb 24, 12 6:34 am     ROTOR victim!... or maybe just a Roader victim ...        Northwest Kiteboarding -> Gorge / Portland / Oregon Coast All times are GMT - 8 Hours Page 1 of 1   Jump to: Select a forum Northwest Kiteboarding Discussion Forum----------------Gorge / Portland / Oregon CoastFor SaleLost & FoundIndustry SoapboxCGKA  You cannot post new topics in this forum You cannot reply to topics in this forum You cannot edit your posts in this forum You cannot delete your posts in this forum You cannot vote in polls in this forum You can attach files in this forum You can download files in this forum
