It is not surprise that it has been windy alot of places here included. I was talking to my mom yesterday who said during the "big winds" their garage roof got partially blown off. Apparently, the good news is that the insurance will cover all about 100 dollars. It would be better if it covered everything..but whatever, I guess they can live with it to have a more secure roof, and repairs made to the old one. It is windy here again today..it always starts in the afternoon. It was not windy this AM. How about where you are?

Our area had really high winds last week. One day was a big hail day, luckily spotty and I only saw tiny hail, but many people had damage. Hail and wind can really mess up a lot of things and cause a lot of damage!

@MarieCoyle I had a tornado here one time a number of years ago. After the main storm passed there were hailstones all over the ground. It looked like it had snowed.

Several towns saw really big ones, luckily, it wasn't us! But on the news they showed broken car windows, damaged roofs, etc. Hail is a meanie!

I was surprised. Of course no one told me. I found out after the fact

@snowy22315 They probably didn't want to worry you.

Not windy here at the moment, but it could get that way if a storm blows in.

My area of southwest Louisiana went through a tornado striking near the McNeese State University which is located southwest from my residence early on Wednesday morning which did remove a roof of the local hospital in the city and interrupted internet. phone and cable service through early Friday morning. No serious damage in my neighborhood.

@snowy22315 Tornadoes are deadlier than hurricanes.

I'm in the mitten of Michigan, yes, the winds were powerful yesterday but not today. I sat a plastic dish of food out for the feral cats and the dish blew away! I'm sure the cats will eat that food off the ground, anyway.

@snowy22315 March winds are expected each year, in 2024 they are a bit late.

It was windier yesterday, although today is fairly windy. I took the trash out this morning and walked the dog, and Sadie’s “dog bag” I carry when I walk her flew out of my hand (it hadn’t been used yet). I managed to chase it down (no littering here ). But it was one of those you reach for it, the wind blows it away, you catch up, the wind blows it away…

I had that happen yesterday with a receipt. I was chasing it around for awhile. It blew out of a bag.

We don't get a lot of wind really and there is rarely any damage done. Losing a roof, or part thereof, would be a bit inconvenient. Off the subject a little but now, in some of our flood-prone areas, the can't get insurance at all or else it is much more than they can afford.
