IT'S ONLY THE WIND

During the wind storm I alluded to the other night, I heard a loud thump from the back of the house.  I was afraid the wind had ripped off some of the plastic roof panels from the back porch, as had happened in Sandy.  But when I checked, they were all secure.  The next morning, however, the source of the noise was revealed.  The wind had managed to blow my canoe off its resting place on the end of my deck.  This beast is all aluminum and weighs 85 pounds, so this was quite a feat.  Since smaller items had not been blown away, I surmise that the wind got under the canoe and lifted it off.  I'll have to come up with a way to tie it down, I suppose.  Here are before & after pictures.
