i saw at least one picture of a totally destroyed airplane (Kitfox)
that was still tied down. the tiedowns pulled through the wings and
the tail was broken in half. Also heard reports from other aviation
webboards that many planes with popular robust tiedowns (like The
Claw) had the tiedowns pulled out of the ground. The ground looked
like totally saturated mud, i imagine it would be hard to tie anything
down in mud with an F1 tornado in the vicinity.
