The wind has been 25 mph gusting to 35 all afternoon where I live. I see that two 172’s were damaged by the wind in Charleston. From what I heard, one of the planes was not tied down and was flipped over onto the other one. It makes me so grateful for my hangar.

I'll be glad when the wind drops to 35 here.....

Still, hate to see any airplane damaged from wind.

41 mph max gust in my area. That’s right off the weather station on the top of my house. Wind was howling!!!
