Also in the Midwest, had those winds last night. The wind knocked down two fence sections in between our backyard and the neighbor's backyard this morning. I didn't notice and let the dogs out and they got to explore the neighbors back yard for almost 15 minutes before I realized I hadn't seen them for a while. Our section of the fence used to have issues also, but we spent an afternoon recently reinforcing the weak sections, and it held up just fine last night. If that had gone down though, they'd get to run directly into a prairie and anywhere in town, so I feel pretty lucky it was just part of the fence with my neighbor. One of the two dogs did run away as a puppy (slipped out of a harness to escape going into the vet's office) and it took us four days to find and retrieve him, so I have firsthand experience and I definitely do not want to go through that process again, hopefully ever.
