That could        probably act as a catchall for the wind and send your cottage        to the land of Oz. But the nearby trees and ground-level        changes around you probably break/toss/twist the power of the        winds around a bit to lessen a direct impact?              I live in a small valley. The winds can have a significant        build-up effect if they want to. Some of the strongest storm        winds have been in the summer with driving rains. The        aforementioned 10ft wide glass door sustained quite a few of        those over the years. But nothing like that has happened in        over 10yrs now.                     --         ../|ug              --- OpenXP 5.0.58        * Origin: Stare into this point intently ->.<- (1:153/757.21)       SEEN-BY: 4/0 90/0 105/81 106/201 128/187 129/305 134/100 153/0 143       SEEN-BY: 153/148 149 151 757 6809 7715 154/110 218/700 840 221/1 6       SEEN-BY: 221/360 226/30 227/114 229/110 114 275 300 307 317 426 428       SEEN-BY: 229/470 664 700 705 280/464 291/111 292/854 301/1 320/219       SEEN-BY: 322/757 335/364 341/66 200 234 396/45 460/58 712/848 900/0       SEEN-BY: 902/0 26 905/0 2320/105 5020/400 5075/35       PATH: 153/757 221/6 341/66 902/26 229/426           |
