Be careful with those car ports, Monsoon season here in Tucson can deposit your car port in a neighbors yard....
well I thought I was smarter than nature- it blowed up in tonight's storm.
Lost a couple of trees too
I don;t know if it was a microburst but pretty wild here for about 15 minutes. Lots of my neighbors outside with flashlights
Doesn;t seem to be any damage but I had to update.
Morning light shows that the ties downs gave way- 1 bent leg on the shelter, the canopy is fine.
No damage to the van.
I lost the top 10' of the 40' tree in the back yard and a small palo verde in the front is leaning way over...I'll try to straighten while the soil is damp ( very, very hard clay/limestone soil here.
News this morning shows plenty damage across the valley.
where I really went wrong is I thought the bungee tie downs canopy to frame would release under pressure, but they didn;t.
On my do-over, I'll go lighter with canopy attachment
