I drive that road too, and when there are winds in the valley - they come around one of my house corners with a vengeance. We had one of those 'wind only' storms about a week ago. - probably the most intense in 10 years. I est. >45 mph gusts; watched a very tall (~45') tree across the creek, swaying more than I've ever seen.. and that Eucalyptus went at 35? Must have been sick, as they theorize. Perhaps it was weakened by the earlier storm.

3/4 mile is Too Close! I'm glad that Maxwell's Demon was on Your side this time. Scary.


Cheers,
