I had something similar happen--fortunately, I saved the cab and the front trailer, but my rear box decided to take a nap on the shoulder.
According to the Corporate Safety Director, being dispatched into 77-mph sidewinds with two empties constitutes a 'preventable accident.' I'll leave you to guess my opinion on the matter, as it contains just a bit of Adult Content...

Back in the day when I use to haul fuel, I witnessed a scence just like that. Guess where it was. One quess.
Oklahoma? Actually that looks like I-40 East outside of Amarillo.
Nope, Texas.
those were tipped over on I90 in western south Dakota just east of rapid city
john in south dakota
Reminds me of 580 just this side of the Altamont.
The wind at Altamont raceway is so strong it'll blow the beer right out of your cup.
Saw a scene like that east of Hutchison Kansas, and it wasn't even a windy day. Just one freak gust.
Looks like Wyoming.

If John in SD is correct, they weren't blown over, they died of boredom.
