A Song of Wind, ICE, An Active Shooter, and More
Act 1...Wind Holy f#*#*g s### ! Driving through Kansas was like driving through a hurricane. Except no rain. The first clue on how bad the wind was going to be was at midnight when the howling of the wind woke us both up. By the time we checked out, it had picked up so hard, that the car doors would slam open or closed if you weren't careful. Driving was ridiculous. The wind alternated between a dead headwind to a dead crosswind. The car was being buffeted back and forth as the semi's next to us were having the same thing happen. Luckily with autosteer/autopilot engaged the car stayed centered in the lane. I only had to drive manually when vehicles in the next lane would dive toward us. Steering wasn't the only problem. The headwind made a serious dent on range. As you can see from this picture even though I was driving at 73 mph the winds made the "gas mileage" equivalent to driving 100 mph! Range was reduced 40-50% because of the wind...
