This was the year that we removed the 30+ year old fence that borders the west side of our property. It was built like a series of tall boards nailed to a couple of long horizontal posts, with room to see in between the slats. When replacing the fence, we considered getting an attractive, continuous, non-gaping fence like our neighbors have. Reasoning through it, we noted that such a fence might be vulnerable to strong winds. So we went with the slatted fence for $5,000.
Two weeks later, the tornado-gale storms ripped through town.
The storms felled three tall trees across the street.
They toppled our neighbors' attractive fence.
Ours is still standing.
