Disappointed with Neighbors....

[Hoosier]

I fly 24/7/365 and have it lighted at night as well on a spot light.

Oh man totally couldn't do that here, the winds we get are incredibly intense. It'd be shredded after just one windstorm. The winds were so bad they took the glasses off my face and threw them into a two acre lot, never to be seen again. 60+ mph gusts. Maybe if I had a anemometer that triggered a pully to winch the flag down into a tube at the base when the winds exceeded some threshold.

Anyway, good on ya for doing it if you can.

We live up against the foothills and I will save the stories of horrible wind gusts (think large stainless six burner BBQ grill w/cabinet thrown halfway across the lawn at 3:00am) but I'm lucky that the way the garage extends it shelters the front porch from the brunt of the winds for the most part. It still blows but not as bad as if I mounted it out on the face of the garage or something.

New flag went up the day after 9/11 -has been replaced 3 or 4 times. When's it coming down ?-I have no idea at this time.

I sat out on my (well covered) patio during a hurricane... was passing a good ways away, probably just 50mph winds where I was. And it doesn't compare at all to this crazy stuff out here.
