Where does Shaw get blown away to?

Folks here have deduced that Shaw gets blown away by the windstorm/explosion shock-wave when she is caught between the landing gear and the body of her ship. Since the wind comes from the direction of where the humans had been exploring, she is then blown somewhere in the opposite direction from that. Along with there being a roadway there, which I'd be surprised if the humans built, there must be a second site at the other end of the road. I wonder what it there. Any thoughts by anyone?

I don't think she gets blown anywhere, I think she just gets battered about against the outside of the ship, hence the bruises on her knees in the bedroom scene.

It still looks to me like the shot of Shaw being swept away from the open garage/hanger bay, and the subsequent shot of (apparently Shaw) caught in a far darker storm are from different scenes. It's strange...are there two similar scenes in the film, or does the lighting in the scene change very drastically?

There is a thread here on the "Dark Shadow" that occurs when the vehicles are racing back to the ship.. it's noticed that a "Dark Shadow" is on the left.. If the scene of Shaw outside of the garage is the first event.. then the second event would be here being swept away.. The dark shadow would explain the lighting in the scene changing to darkness...
