This happened last week: https://news.usni.org/2022/07/27/10-navy-helicopters-suffer-major-damage-several-blown-over-in-sudden-norfolk-storm That REALLY sucks. Hard to believe nobody saw this coming but weather does happen... I remember seeing the picture of the 4-5 Chinooks all flopped over on their sides... and they WERE chained down; just too loose. I think it was at Fort Hood. Can't find that pic online anywhere though. It was on the Systems CD sold by The Hangar I believe. I also saw a hard copy picture at Rucker where they had a single OH-58A blown over by a microburst (a mechanic nearby heard a rush of air but it wasn't a gale wind across the airfield; it wasn't part of an active storm over them). Same thing; it was chained down but too loose.
