The Flying Tent

A tent is essentially a big piece of cloth that is vulnerable to the wind. People often underestimate how strong the wind can be until they try to put up the tent, and it starts blowing away. It looks like these people are about to get a taste of just how gusty it can be!

To avoid flying away accidentally, campers should avoid setting their tents in very windy places. In the United States, Nebraska, Kansas, South Dakota, North Dakota, and Iowa are listed by the Washington Post as the windiest states. The least windy are Mississippi, Florida, and Kentucky.
