High winds with a tractor trailer

When Katrina blew through I was headed to Louisville and about half way between Cinci and there. My s/t felt almost that crazy although I know the wheels never came off the ground. It hit all at once with no warning. I slowed to about 20mph and made the few miles to the Pilot pair. I parked between to semis so my truck was completely between their trailers. I put the dolly legs down hard and I still was buffeted by the wind as if I were sitting in the middle of a vacant prairie. It was the worst wind I've experienced so far and pretty amazing that far inland.
