Also FYI I was talking about the mbuttive *DUST STORMS* that I saw driving eastbound on Interstate 10. When the strong winds crossed my path on I10 there was heavy dust everywhere and ahead of me one or two tumbleweeds crossed my path from left to right. My Saturn didn't take it too well as there was a lot of body roll to the right hand side and I was pushed sideways a good 10 inches. Thanks to my savvy driving skills I survived. The truck behind me (a Ford Expedition) was being dumb and was actually following behind me in my blind spot. Apparently his-her SUV was blown heavily too, enough to rock it back and fourth violently from what I remember. After the first rude awakening both of use slowed down from about 85mph to about 65mph. Before making it to San Antonio TX, there were a couple of other dust storms that I got caught in after that but not nearly as strong. I swear if I was not gripping the steering wheel during the first strong gust of dusty wind, my car would have been blows right off the road into the ditch and then some. I can totally visualize me inside the little Saturn while it's cartwheeling out of control with all the luggage in the back seat tossing around violently and hitting me hard enough to cause head trauma.
