On September 11, 2012 Tropical storm Leslie hit the province of Newfoundland with 130+ km/h winds which knocked out the power for a couple days and did some serious wind damage.
In my case I was quite lucky to get away with no major damages. I did have 6 spruce trees fall down against the back of my garage. Which provided a unique workout of cutting and clearing away the fallen trees. Granted I’m no lumber jack, but it was some good exercise 😉
Thankfully the steel garage was strong enough to withstand the wind and weight of the trees falling on it. I’m glad I choose to build a steel garage instead of a wooden one now. It was more expensive to build initially, but a lot stronger and more durable in a situation like this. I’m sure a wooden building in the same situation would not have received a lot of damage to the roof, shingles, and eves.

Overall we were very lucky to get away with no serious damage done. But I know several folks weren’t so fortunate.
One guy who lives just a few minutes up the road from here had his garage lifted up in the wind and it literally crushed his corvette… Ouch!
I’m glad this didn’t happen with my garage & car!
How about you?
Did you suffer any damages this year from hurricanes or tropical storms?
If so post a comment below…

Best to be wearing some boots with steel toes. Especially if you don’t do this often.
Be safe!

You cheated with the chainsaw, should’ve used a two handed saw or something without an engine. 🙂

You are right, it was stupid to be out doing that with regular sneakers on 🙁
I lucked out again this time, but I’ll be wearing work boots next time. Thanks for the reminder.
