We got hit with a bit of a windstorm on Tuesday. First thing it did lift up the shade structure and push it against the acacias. Then it lifted the shade structure up and smacked it straight down. Then it picked it up again and moved it about seven feet to the right.
While all that was going on, a 70-foot tall acacia went down, missing the new deck (paid for by insurance, along with a new master bedroom when a fir tree hit the house Thanksgiving Day 2010) by about 15 feet.
