This better not mess with the GC broadcast.

This is the windiest I've ever seen. It blew my BBQ over and that thing isn't light!

It also blew the kids' trampoline halfway across the yard. I've got a bunch of concrete blocks on it now.

Some streets downtown look like a warzone. Broken glass and debris all over. Guess some windows blew out on the office towers by 7 Ave and 2 St SW.

My neighbors shingles are coming off as we speak, hopefully it doesn't spread too much.

Southcenter lost power at the exact moment that I was looking for a nice dress shirt XD

On both the way IN and OUT of the shopping mall, I was literally sandblasted with all the grit coming off the parking lot and Anderson.

At the gas station getting a drink and a scratch ticket. Watched the lights come crashing down off the building and not hit my truck.

Lol the top half of my buddy's 30ft spruce or whatever broke off and fell in the road. I'll post a pic later when I get home.

[phreezee]

Stay away from downtown IMO.

Waiting for a tree to fall around here so I can try out the winch.

[Thomas Gabriel]

3 trees fell into my house

[pf0sh0]

windiest I've ever seen it.

The wind was steering my car everywhere lol

Roof shingles flying off in Panorama Hills. Also, heard that a trampoline went through someone's window.

Insurance companies are gonna be busy!

[jdmakkord]

I've lost LOTS of shingles, seen 2 different trampolines fly 1000-3000 ft from yard to yard. Gotta love acreage living LOL.

I've got shingles lifting and possibly coming off, anybody know if you have to replace the entire roof when his happens or can it be patched?

As long as the shingles aren't too old and you can still get the same colour and type, you should be able to path it. Otherwise, it will have to be a complete replacement.

Update:

Looks like the house ended up losing a few shingles, the homeowner is out there right now trying to hold the glass panel rail in place.

flashing in the yard... not sure if its from my house or the nieghbor's... does anyone know if southcentre is up and running again? i have to pic up my tv

Guys.. if your shingles are coming off, call your insurance company. They'll send out an adjuster, and determine if you require a new roof. Far better to pay $500 deductible and get a new roof than to risk leaking from a patch job...
