Although I wasn't in Weston at the time, when I got home that night I found 3 windsurfing masts that had been held up on the side of my shed by nails had all fallen to the ground along with a long piece of trim wood that was stored on a rack nearby, and I am presuming they were all shaken off by the earthquake.
