Well hearing this makes my experience seem so benign.
From the great comments and earlier picture, i’ve figured out that I did multiple things wrong: too much ‘air’ between tarp edge and ground, tarp not oriented correctly for the wind (which shifted early), and tarp end angles not maximized for door closure. I’ll get back out in the next storm and see if I can do better. I’m also thinking of adding some short shock cord loops to my stakes, to make them easier to find if dropped, as i’m still missing one somewhere in the leaves (at least i’ll Always know where it is...). Thanks to everyone for your teaching points, it’s better to find out now than when I can’t run back to my house.
