Brief Thunderstorm, possibly a Microburst
I always bring a lot of plants out, some on open benches, others on benches with some shade cloth, and finally all my Vandas on a large rack. The Vanda rack starts covered, and then gets uncovered after I hook up a sprinkler to come on for 15 minutes every 6 hours.
On Tuesday evening, we had a brief, but violent, storm. A microburst was confirmed in Edison NJ (abt 15-20 miles away), but I am convinced that we were hit by another one.
The first photo shows the field I am using.
The second photo what is left of my 10'x24' Vanda rack.
