- Just curious..... Now that Hurricane Irene has gone up the East Coast, what strategies seemed to work best? Did you point your beam into the wind or broadside? No hurricanes here in Iowa but quite a

- Not sure where to point to initially, but you have to turn it every several hours. The wind here, in Northern New Jersey started from SE and E on Saturday, but changed to N and then to W closer to Su

- Or, just take the philosophy: Wind speed rating is X mi/hr, independent of direction. (i.e. the mfr doesn't generally provide a "well, it's rated to 70 mi/hr along the boom, but 20 mi/hr crossways" k
