This shed was built by a carpenter, and has with stood many storms over the last 5+ yrs. It has been on our property for the last 3. It was in excellent condition and had just been painted in October. We have been through windstorms that have pealed off shingles in quantity, but the shed has never moved. We'll today it moved, and crumpled. NOAA reports 6mph winds. I know they have never really tracked wind on the bench where I live, but I would bet this was more than 6 mph winds. (Gee You think?) I would guess 40 -70 mph depending on the hour since last night with gusts that might exceed the 70 during the night and early morning. If you see anything about the Valley it could be mine. :-)
Everyone here is safe including the animals. Stay warm and safe!
