[BogeyBoy]

I ended up cutting slits in a couple of the birdcage screens. When we lived in Naples I saw hundreds of collapsed birdcages in my development. Those that survived either slit the screen or were facing away from the main wind force. We sat in the dark listening to our cage (again this was in Naples) moan and groan under the stress. But no damage. In hindsight I probably didn't need to slit last night, but a hundred dollars of screens is a lot less than thousands to rebuilt the birdcage.
