| | | Nice catch. Hope everyone was OK. The only way it could of even possibely been better is if you caught the flip in action. Now that would of just been down right sick. Nice catch though.

| | interesting, thoughts?
i posted on TNJ and got this response, i would like honest opinions...and paul, what all did you see or ohw do you think it happened? Quote:
looking at those pix.... I'd say the SUV was going too fast leaving Eden Square. I don't believe it was flipped by the wind.

| | | I for one went out today in my SUV and was being tossed around like a rag doll. I will say it may be hard to beleive that something like that could happen, but I have seen weirder things. Also, being as though I was out in this wind, in a SUV myself, I can beleive it even more. | | The Following User Says Thank You to Bellicose For This Useful Post: | | | |

| | | When I was in the Wendy's, a worker said she saw it happen and said it appeared to her that the SUV was trying to make a turn and the wind caught it and just turned it over. | | The Following User Says Thank You to paulusa302 For This Useful Post: | | | |

| | I seen that on TNJ! That group over there..........................  talk about people who have no lives!!!! LOL they are amusing.
Great pictures Paul, congrads.
As far as that group at TNJ I'm suprised they didn't accuse the pictures of being photoshopped, or start thier best "CSI" looking for skid marks. | | |

| | | My mom was telling me the wind was at about 73 miles per hour today! I had to go up 95 to Lancaster Pike and my mini van was being pushed the whole way through the marsh. There were even white caps on the water in the marsh! It was nasty windy out today! Great pics Paul. Thanks for sharing!! Drive safe tonight for anyone going out.
