That happened in my city! (I live in Louisville.) We had an 82 MPH wind gust registered at the airport when that happened. I wish the rest of the night had brought such good news.

Falling trees are big problems in storms, and people should be allowed to cut back large trees too close to their homes. Often, here, they are not allowed to cut down the tree, because the councils heritage list old trees, without realising the inherent danger in doing so, as they make decisions from ivory towers, not from the coalfront.
