Probably right. Thanks, Judy.

Not sure this applies. However. When comparing solid vs mesh satelite

Maybe that's what caused the chain link fence to blow over?

With the flooding from the storm, it could have picked up enough leaves,
branches and assorted trash to fill in most of those spaces to cause it
to topple over. Once down, the flotsam & jetsam would wash away and
you'd never know. I've seen how the leaves and such pile up at my chain
link gate during a deluge.

Wondered if they had those .... yipes what do you call them-- strips to
make them more private laced between the chain links.

That is something to ponder. Beyond the posts and rails, it's mostly
airspace between wire. WOW! Now that's powerful, Jim!

One of our crew chiefs told me today that he saw where a 4-foot chain
link fence, not near any trees or large bushes, had been blown over by
Charley. He said: "How much resistance can a chain link fence
provide?"
