The wind was begining to really blow outside.
The Story: Here I am in my home office. Outside I hear the sound of my blue box skidding down the street. "Woooooossshhh" The wind was pushing hard. I looked out the window. Garbage and newspapers and empty plastic bottles were blowing down the street. I better go get my blue box before it ends up in the the park. I hear the sound of the garbage truck engine revving up. It is coming up to my neighbours lane way. It whistles to a stop. The garbage man collectes the bins and tries his best to position the empty trash cans, so they won't just blow away. I take in my neighbours trash can and put it up next to their garage. As I bend over to pick up my trash can I hear a loud sNaaaAAP!
I couldn't believe my eyes. A tall pine tree fell quickly to the ground.The tree landed in the street. Luckily no one was in the area and nothing was damaged.
Across the street I notice another tall pine tree laying on the front lawn. It had already fell. The Utilities service were quickly on the scene with chainsaws and cleared the street. In all the were 4 trees that had been either uprooted or had their trunks snapped in half. Many branches were blown down to the ground. since this morning around 9 am the power has been out and it was eventually restore before 4pm. Fire trucks have been busy today. The sound of the sirens and chainsaws and the wind fills the air.
