Gust of wind blew lawnmower on to roof of house

Winds were so strong in southwest Boise, Idaho, on Thursday, they blew a lawnmower on to the roof of a house.



Amanda Handley says the old push mower was being used to tie down their patio cover with a five gallon bucket of gravel.



Ms Handley said: "Our patio cover was tied to our old lawnmower to help keep it grounded (which it had survived many storms that way) but the wind came through and picked up the cover and mower and sent them flying over the house. The patio cover landed partially in our yard and partially in the neighbours' yard.

"The mower landed on the roof. So thankful nobody was injured. A mower on my roof ... dare I say I've seen it all?" She says she heard a "kur-plunk," looked outside, and saw the lawnmower had landed on her roof. Fortunately, her brother-in-law was brave enough to climb up and get the mower down.
