damage caused by the storm force winds

[VirginVegGrower]

despite leaving my lourve wide open and door open my greenhouse stayed put. Glad, as previously in the bad winds, a pane blew out and also decapitated one of my chickens!

But got a Sunday roast out of it maybe..?

Probably why it stayed put Chrismarks.
In places prone to hurricanes and tornadoes, one of the things you do when one comes along is open a window a little. That way when the wind gets in it has a way out again. Saves a lot of roofs from blowing off.

Probably why i've only lost one shabbily fixed plastic panel from the roof then. There are that many gaps in my greenhouse glasing its more like a windbreak than a greenhouse!

You learn something every day and it makes perfect sense.

It's very true. I used to work with Yanks and they would do this - they also had concrete tornado rooms too!

This is what I came home from work to on Monday.

The air was blue!!

Another Angus poster here, we seem to have had the worst of it. I came through relatively unscathed. Both blowaways never budged (tied onto a six foot fence with football boot laces ) but my home made fleeced cloche (think 3 metre long sawhorse) blew over taking some beetroot with it. Running repairs needed ASAP before the pigeons realise where the caulis are...

Two retired neighbours weren't so lucky, both losing the bulk of what was in their blowaways when they, well, blewaway. One of them only bought a replacement a week ago as the first one already got mangled in winds earlier in the month.

Chucks, you have my sympathy, that's terrible!

Poor you chucks. That's awful!
