Sending our thoughts and prayers out to those effected by the Hurricane force winds.
Maybe there some bad winds I haven't heard about, or the networks picked the most extreme examples to show on TV, but in the central valley they weren't that bad. A week or so ago they were worse especially in southern CA.
In my area at the Saturday flea, I saw one pop up canopy go flying (I don't think the new vendor had it weighted at all).
It was blowing pretty consistently, but every once in a while a gust game through that blew stuff off the table.
I had not set up my Caravan (10' square) because of the winds. It was standing behind my van and I had spread the legs a bit so it presented a balaned 2' footprint. Heard a big crash...wind had blown it over.
Wind DID affect sales I think. Crowd was pretty good, but a lot of people were griping about the weather so some probably just stayed at home.
By the way if you buy a Caravan (especially used) check the legs to see if they are steel or aluminum. The one Costco used to sell was steel. I got one with aluminum legs in a $25 locker. It's a LOT lighter. Also their website is great. I had to replace a couple of parts...total was about $20 shipped. They are the Cadillac of canopies. (I also have the typical WalMart .... easy-up or quick-shade I forget which but hardly use it unless I need two on a hot summer day. )
