Wicked Wind Flying Island

The summer of 2020 a Derecho rumbled through from Wyoming all the way to the east coast leaving a swath of destruction in its wake. Our inflatable island that was on shore & anchored with several heavy weighted Adirondack chairs ended up flying like a giant dumb bird.
It was crazy to see it launch and bring with it the chair it was anchored to that weighs about 40 lbs. We were lucky and the island only made it as far as next door where it was wedged between our neighbors heavy chairs. Crazy wicked wind!
