I don’t know. My weather app shows only a 1mph wind during the time frame it went down. That feeder has been up for a while, and I know it’s been through several high wind events. It appears something might’ve gone wrong with the left leg.
In 20 years of hunting up there, I can’t ever remember having a feeder blow over, but I‘ve had the leg brackets give up on a couple of these Field Pro feeders. By the way it’s laying, I’m fairly sure that’s what happened here.
Let me know if you need to me to lay eyes on it if your son can't. I'm not far from there this morning and it's pretty wet.
I appreciate the offer, and I’m fairly sure you wouldn’t be able to get to it after this rain. I’m not too worried about it and will get it set back up when I’m up there in a couple weeks.
Wind blew a train off the tracks around Fairmont last night

A little off topic but it is really starting to #@$$ me off that everyone in the freaking state is getting rain, except where I hunt. Our ponds are still at 30-40% capacity. What gives? It is like we have a big umbrella over our half of the county.
To clarify, I am happy for you all, just angry at my situation.
This big ugly guy showed up this week. I need to find him with my .270 in hand.
Your anger is understandable. I’m in the same situation at my place in east TX. It’s green an hour north of me, and my pasture looks like it’s January.
FairMONT - Garfield County. Vance AFB reported 84 MPH. Channel 9 said 93MPH.
