Ouch. Those were some strong winds. Gusts of 80 and better. Picked up my large gas grill with a full tank and flung it 8-10 feet across the backyard. We did gather near the safe room, just in case.
 
Where's the prop?

It's there, in line with your view. Spinner was busted off.

This is the same guy, by th eway, who landed that plane on the golf course a few months back. It's just out of the shop with engine, paint, etc. More to tell, apparently, but not on the Internet...
 
Any ropes? Rings pulled off?

What aircraft are you referring to? I see a C-172 directly behind it and a Piper of some sort under the sunshade on the far left of the photo.

I believe he was referring to the aircraft which look a great deal like GMC dump trucks...
 
or he might have been looking at the wheel pants and thinking that they looked a lot like a composite planes pods...

That's what I thought the first time I looked at the picture...

I guess I didn't expect to see the wheels on top.
