Safety tips for when driving in high wind conditions

The National Weather Service advises the following guidelines for remaining safe while driving in high winds:

Maintain a safe distance from high-profile vehicles (large vehicles that can be difficult to handle), watch for fallen trees, powerlines or debris, main a strong grip on your steering wheel and be cautious when crossing overpasses/bridges.

"If you've got high-profile vehicles like vans, buses, and some SUVs, you're just going to have to be extra careful and give people space between you and other drivers. The gusts you know are kind of instantaneous," meteorologist Charles Dalton said.
