Wind Storm knock the bike over!

We had a storm so freakin' hard last night it knocked the hawk over on its right side, onto concrete and nearly into the car parked next to it. We were having tornado warnings, but I never expected this to happen. My son-in-law and I went out and righted the bike; I expected it to be trashed! So far as I can tell, the only damage (cosmetically) was a little bit of a scratch on the windshield, and the shield was askew. Once it warms up, I will go out and examine it further. Funny thing, when I first took delivery of the bike, I was making fun of the turn signals, how they droop slightly, etc. Well, now I am glad of that because if I'd had rigid ones, they'd be broken. I hope the impact didn't do any other damage I cannot see. I plan to take it over to my son-in-law's and do a thorough inspection of it. It blows my mind that wind catching in a bike cover could push it all the way over the other direction (you know how these hawks lean). Insane. Dodged a bullet.
