GASH and QUARTERING IN and STAGGERING ...

0 Hi, 02br
00I have some problems about the whole meaning of this paragraph: 02br
00 'I sought out U.S. 90, a wide GASH of a super-highway.02br
00I drove into a wind QUARTERING IN from my starboard bow and felt the buffeting, sometimes STAGGERING BLOWS of the GALE I HELPED to make.' 02br

00Thanks in advance, Jo. 0-
