The weatherpeople warned about not leaving anything outside that could
blow away but I didn't consider that.
Luckily nothing cracked and I was able to put it back together.

I'm glad your lantern feeder didn't crack. We had very high gusting
winds with that storm, too. The Brome squirrel buster feeder hangs from
a shepherd's hook; it didn't go anywhere.
There's another very similar storm on the way!

Yes this weekend, this time the feeder's going inside. lol.
I'll be sure to take care of them on Monday if there's a big snow on the ground. That's the only time I ever spread seed on the ground (because
of squirrels).
I just put my lantern feeder on a 6' steel pole with an "umbrella" type baffle underneath it, never seen a squirrel defeat it yet. Easier to set
it on the ground when refilling.

Not to sound like an advertisement but I love the Brome Squirrel Buster
tube feeder. It has a mesh cage on the outside of the plastic seed
tube. (The tube is ventilated to keep seed fresh.) The perches are on springs. If anything heavier than a cardinal lands on it, the perches
fold downward and the seed tube closes. I've seen a few squirrels try
to get to it by hanging upside down on the mesh but they are not at all comfortable trying to eat that way so they give up.

That looks like a nice one and would probably be a good investment.
Looks like they're currently out of stock though.
What is the "free cardinal ring" for -- just a longer ring because
cardinals aren't as nimble as the smaller birds?
I had one of those weight-sensitive feeders like that on a pole several
years ago, the squirrels would just climb up the pole, raise their arm
up above their head and grab some seed, lol.
