Anything that could blow over in the wind did, but otherwise no new
damage resulting from this storm. Arwen was a lot more exciting.

Couple of trees down in the neighbourhood but that's about it.

I find that polycarbonate is sufficiently inclined to flex and jump out
in storms that I added a horizontal locking bar along the middle of the
long panels on the inside and bolted each one to it using silicone
gasket sealed 6mm bolts from the outside. I also keep a piece of
hardboard with a similar snap to close locking bar on for emergency
repairs after wind damage.
