wind+laundry=BIG PROBLEM

I woke up to the sound of the wind howling outside my bedroom window this morning. It was nice to hear a breeze, because it is never windy here and has been so hot lately....UNTIL I realized that I had washed all of my laundry last night and it was hanging on the closeline on the roof to dry. I went racing up there to find that a good 1/4 of my clothes had blown off the roof overnight, and of course were taken by people:( Just my luck it would be the one windy day when I do laundry...BUMMER!!!
