    ncitro Neil, by the looks of it, winds took the whole garage. People under estimate the power of wind. I have to deal with it at work for some of our stuff so I dabble in it a bit. 30MPH wind produces 2.25 lbf / sqft of pressure. 60MPH wind this increases by 4 as the formula for wind pressure squares the speed. Definitely something to take into consideration.

    And let's not forget mother nature hates people, especially me (I think).

      Yeah for sure. They said they were in Louisiana and got hit with 140mph winds :(

        Joseph,

        Glad you made it through this. Time to get back to camping.

          Well it was our turn in the North yesterday evening with 60 mph winds. Our rig is 50 miles east of us in a sticks and tin storage lot which was also in the path of this storm. We'll see if I get a phone call from the lot owners.
          Incredible light show over lake Erie. Rob it looks like this was also headed your way.
