Cory Bohmann checks in from Will County where this was the scene he encountered late Wednesday. High winds flipped the semi you see on its side here. Wow!! Great shot--but not a great development.
We carried a sound bite on our WGN evening news programs from the driver who said in all his years driving, he had never seen anything quite like the wind which flipped his rig! Wind gusts in the area late today were clocked as high as 63 mph.
