Wind Gust

The wind's extremely gusty yesterday (probably over 40 MPH) and my mom joked that the wind'd blow her away. But ironically, even a big tree around our street corner couldn't withstand the wind, and fell down and destroyed some power cable yesterday evening. During that time, we're watching TV at home and immediately sensing there're some problems since the lights and the TV suddenly were off for a couple times. Then I noticed there're people gathering around and firefighters on the street. I went out to take a quick look, and realized a tree has been unrooted and fell down on the power cable. There're sparkles in the utility pole, and fortunately it didn't cause a big fire and no one got hurt.
