Turning the Tables

Boulder, CO

It was very windy last night, with gusts above 80mph. When I went to bed last night, there were two tables on my back patio, as usual. A round white metal one, and an octagonal wooden one. When I looked out the back door to my patio this morning, I saw that there was only one table on it, the round metal one. I found the remains of the wooden table scattered across the yard. This is the biggest clump of remains. Other bits were strewn as far as twenty feet away.
I've put a picture in pending of what the table looked like when it was whole.

Thanks guys. The wind finally died down. Yes, the weather has been really freaky in Boulder over the last year or so, with lots of wildfires, and then flooding. Our basement was flooded in September, when a lot of the state was hit with major flooding. It was a finished basement, with three bedrooms and living rooms. All ruined. Nothing covered by insurance. We're gradually getting it back in shape, doing most of the work ourselves. Can't complain too much. The southern states routinely get hit by hurricanes and tornadoes.

Geeze, I've got friends in Bolder that I spoke to just last week...this ever evolving weather thingy is getting freaky....close and personal.

Good luck, Traveller
