Question Ever had a trailer go over?

Has anybody ever had a trailer go over from straight line winds? Last night I had 50 mph winds and the trailer was bucking and rocking but stayed planted. My two dogs weren't real thrilled with the ride. Got me wondering what it takes to knock one of these things over.

We just had a strom roll through our area last week that we had straight line winds in the 60+ mph range. In one of the local campgrounds they had about 4 or 5 trailers fliped over. One of the largest was a new 40' tripple axle toyhauler, and a couple of 30+ foot seasonal trailers.

Man, I hate storms. Is there a good place on this site to get info on what/where/how to find a safe place when you are in one of these light weight boxes? Especially when you are driving down the road. We had watches last night saying winds could be up to 70 mph. Every thing passed us.
