Yesterday's windstorm started to kick up about halfway through the Magnolia Market. Vendors are required to attach 25 lbs. of weight to each leg of their tents to keep them from blowing away, but yesterday that really didn't feel like enough. Most of us were hanging on to our tents, as well. Fortunately, there wasn't much else to do, because no sane person was out of doors if they didn't have to be.
My employee at the U District Market just packed up and left: there was no business and the tent wasn't staying in place. Someone there actually lost their tent: 2 of the legs weren't weighted down, so the wind picked up the frame and bent it beyond repair.
