WeatherMatrix HQ Gusts to 43 mph

We had some minor structural damage at WeatherMatrix HQ as a new glass
storm door was blown open and closed repeatedly until it had bent the door
closers backwards, swinging 180 degrees until it knocked a 5 foot stretch
of the porch railings to the ground. It made quite a racket. You can see
the missing porch railings (and the door swinging in the gusts if I can't
tie it down this morning) here:
