The storm front that moved through our area yesterday brought some tornadic activity. Â I was home when it hit and it was quite scary. Â Just afterwards I looked out on the deck and saw the hot tub cover was gone and the lifter was standing in the "open" position. Â Looking out a side window I saw the cover--half was laying in my neighbor's yard and the other half was in the road about 20 feet away from the first half. Â I retrieved both, hosed them down and put them back on the tub. Â I'll be calling Doc tomorrow to order my new one.
The cover was bungeed down at the time but I'm sure that, after seeing the damage that occurred, Â had it been secured with the plastic clips, it would have still taken flight.
Other than that and a few shingles, some sheet metal that was covering a fascia board on the roof was removed. Â All-in-all, lucky and unlucky at the same time. 8-)
