Painful Washout Near My Window—Was It a Natural Disaster or Something More? Living in a quiet suburban neighborhood, I never expected to wake up one morning to the startling sight of a sudden and destructive washout just outside my window. What began as a simple inspection of my glass pane turned into a journey to uncover whether this damage was caused by a natural disaster—or something more mysterious and unexplained. The Unexpected Washout Damage The washout occurred overnight after a severe storm passed through the region. The storm unleashed torrential rain and powerful winds, triggering soil erosion that led to a dramatic gust of wind removing large chunks of soil—and ultimately my window frame—damaging the glass and surrounding structure. Neighbors reported similar damage within miles, pointing to a common cause: sudden weather extremes amplified by climate volatility.
