We had a major tornado touchdown at Cokertme (nr Bodrum Turkey)four days ago. The beachside resturant (Captain Ibrahim) has its roof lifted and dumped 30 ft away between the owners car and my Mac on its trailer. Owner dived for cover as tornado approached said it only lasted 30 secs My Mac with trailer was moved 3 ft sideways and 4 ft forwards. No damage just the pasarelle(aluminium gangway) snapped. The local pensions next to my boat roofs removed and interiors wrecked. Several olive tree wrecked Luckely out of season so no injuries. Locals saying Allah takes Allah gives.

I bet flying olives with pits would hurt. Stay safe and keep your head down. Glad your Mac was not injured.
