A few weeks ago we had a "freight train" come through and my DD and SIL's kids huge trampoline left for another planet. It ended up clear down to the end of the runway and it did not even resemble what you had left. It was totaled. The hot tub cover came unsnapped and went for a trip, like a flying saucer, but it hit a treeline and stopped, still usable when retrieved. It was a scary night, but they were in town and missed the whole thing, got home after dark and had no idea of what happened when they got up the next morning and saw the misplaced and missing items.

We have had a kot of wind all spring. Unusual for Louisiana. We get high winds in March.

Hope you can still use it. When the kids were small we had a trampoline. Our yard isn't flat so we we dug one side into the hill so the trampoline was flat. The one side wasn't so far off the ground so it was easier to get on it. Maybe do that so it doesn't blow away again.

We have had winds for months in El Paso - nearly every day at least 40 mph and many days with 60-70 miles and 116 days without rain. But I'm thankful for this with the bad weather and storms in the mid west. I'm keeping them in my prayers and praying for rain in Texas - the farmers and ranchers are having a diffcult time - and that means higher prices soon!

Wow! I could not image having wind like that every day. Here in Michigan, we only get the wind when storms are gonna come....and then 30-40mph winds are considered a "high wind warning".

I am so sorry to hear about the trampolines. I know kids like to play on them and they aren't cheap.
Kansas winds are notorious so what can I say.
