Gusty Wind Gives Some Items Wings

Prince George, B.C.- The  commercial for one of those  energy  drinks  claims the product will "give you wings", well, no energy drink here, but this  backyard  patio cover flew over a fence.

The wind has been  gusting in the 45 km per hour range,  enough to  somehow  get under the canopy and lift it up and over the backyard fence of  a Winnipeg-5th Avenue home.  The  gazebo was then  dumped into the southbund lane of Winnipeg Street, luckily  it did not contribute to any  traffic mishaps or injuries.

Our 250NEWS photographer  went door to door to find the rightful owner, and the  gazebo was  returned to its rightful yard,  no doubt given an extra tie down to  make sure it didn’t "take flight" again.

Typical PG driver. They drive into the wrong lane to avoid an object that they could have gotten out and moved easily. Classy.

Moved it where? Onto the sidewalk or on somebody’s front yard? Where it then would have then been blown somewhere else…

Funny how people think the wind gets “under” something to lift it. Its lifted from the top, as in wind going OVER it.
