Hurricane IVAN

Category 3
Grenada
115 knots, 145 knots in gusts

No damage (both devices)

Both devices were not prepared or secured for this unexpected hurricane. They were simply switched off, nothing else.

Hurricane EMILY

Category 1
Grenada
80 knots, 100 knots in gusts

device 1: No damage

device 2: 1 wingtip broken off

Both devices were switched off only after the good experiences in hurricane again. They were not particularly secured. Something flying through the air broke 1 wingtip off. Perhaps one should diminish the wings during the hurricane season (10-15 minutes).
