The entire south part of MN is nothing but farms and windmills. I never thought MN was that windy, however it really was to, see the following picture.
The wind caught this trailer and spun the van righ into the median flipping the trailer. It happened just a few minutes in front of us. Thankfully nobody was hurt, just pretty shook up.
