[Thena Carville]

Ben,
The way things are looking now, you may not need to do much...hope it stays
that way...sounds like you need some duct tape for the dock box...I have
seen several water spouts and even seen some water spouts become
tornadoes...the only damage I have seen done was once they were on land...I
guess you are really lucky it was only popping off the pop top....(ExCel is
still in the back yard and will stay there till the danger from any of the
current storms is nil...
Thena
