Major Wind Storm

Received 1 3/4" rain with 100+km winds around 2:00AM

Back yard, looking west (wind came from the north - right side of picture)
 

 
North tree line, near back (across from pond).
At least 20 trees snapped in half here. Very large branches blew 50-60 feet south before landing (some being speared into the ground).
 
 
 
Robert is standing in the middle of the fallen trees. A lot of cleanup is required.
 
A close-up of Robert. These are tree lying on the ground!
 
Looking north from the house through the path that would take us to the 'old' potatoe garden.
 
A view of the front lawn; the force of the rain down the eavestrough pulled a segment apart (the white tube lying on the ground near the left of the image).
 
Our neighbour's yard; a couple of trees were uprooted, with Robert standing next to them.
