Obviously a lot of damage was due to loose aircraft blowing around and
into each other, but the number that ended up inverted is staggering.

Assuming many A/C took a major storm wind blast from the front as well
as the rear, might exterior wood clamping systems on the control
surface have helped? There have to be some lessons here.

It is terrible to have to tie an airplane down outside. Really sorry
for your loss.

Doesn't look like some of the planes in hangers did much better...
