What owners wrote

I was driving home christmas night after spending the weekend with family, it was raining hard and windy (20-30MPH gusts). While driving with my wipers on at 70MPH on interstate 35 south just north of albert lea minnesota my wiper blades started to get caught in the wind, I heard a slapping noise a few times and then all the sudden as the wipers went to wipe the passenger side blade was lifted by the wind and was dropped on top of the other blade.
