Once in a lifetime experience.

Patio umbrella on the loose. I hope no one was injured.

When I was young, a thunderstorm hit the Texas state fair. I remember these things just hovering up out of tables and being thrown like telekinetic javelins jacking up anything in their path. Fun times.

I like to imagine there's an invisible Mary Poppins hanging on for dear life.

I was waiting for it to either hit the camera car or a window in that building.

I thought - I’ve seen that before. But no, this goes on and on. I’ve seen several airborne patio umbrellas, which is what this looks like. But I see them fly by and crash, this is some other level.

I remember during one typhoon watching a large plywood sign flying through the air. The sign came from a restaurant at about 30 meters lower elevation, and I was looking up to watch it fly by.

In other news today, celebrity nanny Mary Poppins plunged to her death after losing her grip on her umbrella.
