Can you hold on to a potato gun with your hands when firing it, Hair?

A strong hurricane, you are not able to stand in it. Some like Andrew, have winds over 150 mph, gusting to over 200.

In that one I was scared, even in the house, with all the windows boarded up. Next day I nearly got lost in my own neighborhood, things looked so different. no more street signs, all the roads completely filled with trees and debris, for miles, trash and wreckage everywhere, most homes damaged, many completely destroyed.

Ever since those antique planes flew over last week, my smallest dog, Minnow (who is again dyed blue), keeps looking up in the sky, barking at whatever he sees there, helicopters, buzzards in particular, airplanes, which he now follows with his eyes.

Certainly you can, must in fact, hold the potato gun when you fire it. It does not kick a lot, they are so heavy. Hold by the barrel and the striker, and aim it slightly up to get more distance. When it fires, you will hear a pop/thunk, and in time you will be able to tell by the sound whether it was a good shot, or a short shot. (the potato leaving the barrel sounds like popping your cheek with your finger, like some people can do).

Have you got them built? - Or just working on them?

I know hurricanes are intense, as is the damage afterwards. That is what I would jump to see! One can't appreciate it fully from pictures.
