    I read somewhere that this was a case of wind blowing the trailer around.

    I had read some input also indicating that. Just another reason trying to pull a 33 foot trailer with a 1/2 ton short bed truck is not one of my favorite things to think of doing. My 28 footer is bad enough that when the winds get high I find a place to park until it settles down, and if necessary stay overnight.

    That's pretty scary...saw that on the news, can't imagine what it must've felt like hanging there looking down.

    This is why most states (especially out west) shut down mobile home transport in high winds. When I worked in the industry we lost a few in Colorado.

    Read the title and thought this was going to be a PSA about putting chains on your tires. :oops:

    That appear to be an f250 based on the headlights and door handles from what I can see not a half ton. Glad it wasn't worse.

    Yep, and if a 3/4 ton got tossed like that imagine a 1/2 ton.
