If we would of closed it it might of had a chance. Actually really lucky only some siding damage and a light. Could of been worse. That wind was something else Wednesday. Record storm related power outages here in S.E. Michigan.

I think I jinxed myself with the title of this post. Oh well time to build a real garage.

We got some crazy wind in Chicagoland as well. Tons of downed trees and garbage blown all over the place.

And I still got power. Which is surprising for my area.

My wife told me there was a trampoline in our subdivision pool after the wind storm this week.

That wind was crazy! I went to the parts store on Wednesday and on my way out, the only way to open the front door against the wind was to lean into it with my shoulder. Even that didn’t work at first, because the floor mat under my feet started to slide towards the shelves of spray paint. Once I managed to slip outside, I had to pull hard on the door to keep it from slamming shut.

Then I got home and the power was out. Go figure. It’s back on now, but I hear that some are going to have to wait until next week for theirs to get fixed.

I’m in Grand Rapids, there’s a ton of outages in my area, but we’ve been fine.

Isn’t that a real garage behind the tent one? Or is that not yours

Not to be rude if any DTE employees are on here, but what the hell are they doing? Van Dyke (a pretty major road) still has street lights out, its day 3!

Good luck. Sounds like an excuse for a weekend vacation.

I know that feel. Similar thing happened to a shelter of mine about a year ago.

It’s not a good feel. Of course it didn’t get blown into the empty lot.

Oh well could of been worse just wish I could of seen it. Tied down at 4 corners and 2x12 bolted to the inside posts.

Mine wasn’t quite so bad. Only outright wrecked one tube and I managed to patch the cover where it was torn temporarily back together with a bunch of rubber ZIP tape. It had kind of curled up like a bug and slid down the driveway upside down.
