Now I know we are cold here in MN,, Thanks for sharing Rev. big grin.
You're welcome, sir. :)
And we're WAY too warm for this time of year.
I think I will be happy with our forecast for cold temps here (about 40 miles as the crow flies from Rob) because it does not include the words "projectile debris." That's just plain scary.
I hear you, Vicky. It can be unnerving to see larger objects in flight. I wish that was a joke.
Nothing like taking a piece of flying patio furniture upside the head to ruin your day.....
Absolutely, Rumbear. Not to mention the occasional Volkswagen. Heh.
Renton, WA during a "Pineapple Express" three neighbors had their patio roofs go airborne and land in street. For once I was smart and used hurricane ties from Simpson when we built our patio cover.
Rev. Paul,
We have things flying around all the time throughout the year. Winter.....wind.....Tornadoes!!!
WSF - those ties are worth double their weight in gold.
Sandy - tornadoes are a serious threat in your neck of the woods. We traded tornadoes & floods in the Midwest for Alaska; all we have here is blizzards, earthquakes, volcanoes, and the occasional hurricane-force winds. :)
