I've been in near drought conditions for over a year. So any rain is greatly welcomed but yesterday was a surprise. Rain started Saturday night and continued until about 5am. Nice to have some moisture in the ground, right?
Yesterday was cloudy and overcast. A great day to spend inside with the wife and watch a movie. Rain got stronger around 6pm and then, almost an hour later, gale force winds came out of nowhere! We put up wooden blinds in the covered terrace a year ago. High ceilings so the curtains about 3m (10ft) long. Tied up, they survived the hurricane this past October. But on Saturday, the string that is used to roll up one blind broke. Not a huge deal as I was going to call the guy to come fix it today, Monday. No heavy winds called for, all will be well, right?
Well, here is a wooden blind flying and breaking apart in mid-air. Wish this recording was at 60fps!
