I have been on the road in Dallas during some severe weather and high winds (tornado type of activity) and I always worried more about hail damage then something else hitting my car. Yes, 70 mph winds hitting the right spot can flip over a tall tractor trailer.... I have seen that happen. But that is why I say don't park under any trees and you will be ok.

Heck... I drive my car at 70 mile per hour and faster here in Texas. No problem!
I'm not going to get into a p!ssing match with you here. 70 MPH winds are a minimum expectation for Long Island. could be worse. 70MPH will carry sand, small gravel, errant realtor signs and tree branches. Not something you would face on the interstate in Texas.

Like I said, common sense ain't all that common.
