What are you going to do when you need to open the door and the wind
is a blowin???
I have a 9x10 door to the South and a 10x10 door to the East. I open
them both when the wind is blowing, the air hose gets loose and the
saw dust heads down town.

I make sure that doesn't happen. My garage is really a shop (there is
a car parked in there, but its engine block is sitting on a
stand...). So I don't *have* to open the door to park a car; anything
I was going to do that involves opening the door gets postponed when
there's a windstorm.

Many years ago, I had a student appear in my office to tell me he was
withdrawing from the university for the semester. I asked him why...

"Remember the windstorm last night"
"Yes."
"I live in a trailer up in San Augustine Pass."
"OK."
"The gusts up there were over 70MPH"
"Wow."
"My trailer blew over.
"Ouch."
"I was in it."

I signed the form...
