The storm front that moved through our area yesterday brought some tornadic activity. I was home when it hit and it was quite scary. 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. 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. I retrieved both, hosed them down and put them back on the tub. 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, 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. All-in-all, lucky and unlucky at the same time. 8-)
