Steve,
Yes sir-ree! It WAS one windy mother of a day, yesterday.
It was bad enough down in the basin, but I can just imagine how much those zephyrs were blowin' up your way, in the canyons.
That's one of the things I've always liked about my BA...The low center of gravity. Even with strong cross-winds, it's never felt like the tires were going to be swept-out from underneath.
Cheers,
Dwight
