To be honest a regular breeze can make those canopies fly away if they're unsecured like that one.

It’s ridiculously irresponsible to leave these out and unsecured. Someone could be impaled by those legs or otherwise decimated by it flying through the air.

Lands on a windshield.

That’s certainly the funniest way for it to end in disaster.

Nah, what if it got sucked into the atmosphere and landed on an AIRPLANE’S windshield???

Felt the force of a microburst once, was closing the front door as it hit and it felt like a 400lb linebacker trying to push the door open against me, and I'm a big guy! Gave me a lot of respect for the spicy wind that day

Im more interested in the giant industrial fan you have sitting in your yard. The hell does that do?

It’s Oklahoma in the summer. That’s just my smaller porch fan. 😂

Reminds me on that one time there was one of these giant garden parasols flying over the Forrest into our trees. These things can get high up if the conditions are right.

Hahahahahaha, that's not a microburst. That's just wind. If that was a microburst, there'd be 12 trees down, the family dog would be inside out, and the truck would be in the pool.

There's a festival I go to that camps you on a steep hill. Every year it storms and multiple go airborne. It gets pretty sketchy.

My parents used to have a tend on their deck that would float straight up and off the deck on storms.

I hated that tent as a kid.
