LOT of wind in D.C.  Tied the trampoline down!  All remains in place! Cheers!

Tied the trampoline down!

 
Hehehe... same here.     Tied the legs to the deck and the fence, added some extra tie-downs between the outer mat and the frame, and took the safety netting down.  
 
Edit: Hearing stories of trampolines that weigh a few hundred pounds rolling around in high winds was inspiration to tie the crap out of that thing. 
 

Are trampolines the in thing over there then? Am I missing something? Should I get one?

Apparently more popular than we knew. There was one on the news last night that got airborne and landed on the overhead electrical wires.

Yeah, I would say they're somewhat popular as an alternative to swings.  They're good exercise if you're on for more than a few minutes since they can really work the quads.  They can be fun too!   At least that's what my daughter and her friends say.  
 
Friends across town have one that did in fact "blow away" a few years back, damaging part of a wood fence and crashing into their neighbour's house.    So I figured it'd be a good idea to never know what that's like.
 

Exercise? Exercise? Is that similar to lifting pints of lager to drink?

Similar, but they're more for the quads than the biceps.   But I'm a firm believer in high reps for biceps with the right, uh, weights.  

For once a crazy storm missed Florida..  But I am originally from NY, and I am very concerned about all the people without power.  October is NY is very cold, and windy.  Especially in the city..  and all that water is freezing!  I am afraid there will be many with hypothermia

I consider myself lucky as both my house and boat are ok.. and as you can tell, I even have electricity.. all of the downtown area was flooded and there is plenty of the expected collateral damage... We saw about a 7ft surge here as of 10pm Monday...

*Present*

Was a rough ride, but I'm still kickin'. Had a wizard of oz moment though which was sort of cool, but really scary. I get flooding here if I'm not careful. I saw two of my gutters had blown off so of course I had to go out and put them back on. Next thing you know I feel this wind and I end up in a strange place hanging on to a piece of metal all disoriented until I realized I'd been taken to the other side of my yard. LOL! Whew...best "blow" I ever had! :) I hope everyone else is ok.
