I knew I was taking a chance today but I thought I could dodge the worst part of the forecasted winds for the day. This is the 2nd umbrella I've broken in the past 4 months.
If Tulsa were a coastal town, the meteorologists would be calling these Gale Force winds. It was probably the 40mph gust that did me in.
In a flash the umbrella snapped at its weakest link. I'm just happy it didn't hit anyone in the process.
My next umbrella will have to take on some custom modifications to handle these prairie winds. Maybe I'll give Paul Teutal a call.
