Pay Attention to the Weather
It's important to know what the weather reporter is predicting for your area. If they say things like, "there's a front moving in," or some variartion of weather "advisory," these kinds of key phrases indicate there may be high winds or bad weather coming that can tear your flag up (even an all-weather flag) within a matter of hours.
As parts of the flag are weighed down by moisture and/or frozen together by ice, other parts of the flag are whipped and snapped by the wind. The result is exponentially more force and pressure on the flag than it is designed to withstand, which makes shredding and tearing very likely to occur.
So when high wind or bad weather is headed your way, bring Old Glory inside and let it enjoy some coziness with you.
