Okay, I learn my lesson.

Except for the clouds and little rain, it's been nice.

So, out working in the garden. Cold front went through with no rain. I'm taking a break, wind picks up quickly.

I hear a loud crash. Huh, what was that?

Well stupid is as stupid does. Couple days ago I was going to try looking at the sun. Didn't anchor the roof on the observatory back down when I finished.

Now the roof is laying in the garden!

No damage, but will be a two man job just from its size, 8'x8'. I doubt it weighs 75 or 80 kilos!

Yes really, I have learned! It rode out hurricane Ian's 140 mph tied down!

Just guessing I would  say we were having gusts easily into the 50mph range, if not more.

The aftermath.

The wind finally subsided enough I asked SWMBO to give me a hand with my roll off roof.

We got it back on with very little effort. 

I don't think it weighed 100 lbs.

And much to my relief, not a single mention of "if you don't take better care of your toys, I'm not going to let you play with them!"
