Occasionally we get heavy winds here, almost always from one general

I'm thinking of putting up a wind fence close to the house. I'm a
little worried that the fence might wind up creating some sort of
"focusing" of wind energy that might go to work on the roof.

Anybody know of any good sources of info on these things?

Thanks

Wind is funny stuff. You may try to guess what is going to happen, but
you never know. Where I live in many areas you can not build a new building
without prior testing of the effect it will have on the existing buildings
and environment. We have one area next to the building where I worked where
they would park a truck to block the wind to allow people to safely walk
past the opening between two buildings. Two very large policemen stood duty
to help those across that might not be able to handle what wind was left.
