Careful what you wish for!!!!!
A storm came through here and dumped a lot of rain. Now I wanted the rain, what I did not want was the wind that came through here and destroyed our 12 ft gate. This gate opens out toward us but the wind pushed it inward which damaged the very expensive and heavy duty hardware. It broke a 4x4 post and it pulled the hardware apart.
Not only did our gate get destroyed but there are about 24 feet of our back fence that's down because four posts are snapped in half.
The kicker here is that the part of the fence that is down isn't even in the same path of where the gate is. So, we had some major wind come through here or a tornado, I don't know which it was.
My garden is a little worse for wear but I won't know the actual damage until daylight.
