Watch out for that wind! Izumi umbrella crashes through windshield

Albert Stumm , min read

During that blast of blustery weather Tuesday night, a patio umbrella at Izumi launched into the air and speared the windshield of a car that was parked out front.

A reader who lives nearby told us that he heard the umbrella hit during a wind gust, then looked out his window and saw it sticking out of the windshield.

He ran outside and snapped this picture after they pulled the projectile out of the glass.
