Flying Chairs

A cyclone hit Andhra Pradesh, on the east side of India, killing eleven people due to heavy rain damages. Weakened, it now turned towards Chennai. However, on the West Side of India, we still feel its effects. In the morning, it's bone chilling cold, tap water feels as if it is frozen, it rains, and, of course, the wind blows hard.
The wind is what I wanted to talk about. at around 9 in the morning it started howling. I was talking to my dad when both of our chairs that we had kept outside literally flew a little bit into the air, before they hit the ground and smashed into the railing. Imagine the embarrassment that would have followed had our chairs fell off. A spectator would see chairs falling from the seventh floor of a building, before hitting the ground. What if the chairs fell in another person's balcony? I would rather not think about it.
