After the storm
For those not on Facebook, here are a couple of post-storm pictures showing how the gales moved containers at the terminal around like kids' building blocks.
If freight containers, which weigh thousands of kilos, can be easily toppled by a storm, how much more our roof and sidings? It's alarming that sometimes, despite reiterated warnings, most people still take house and roofing maintenance for granted. Those little gaps and holes on the exterior part of our house are weak points that should be fixed, as wind and water damage can easily worsen them.
