Not really sure what hit us the other night but it was real scary. Sitting at home when all of a sudden rain pounded harder than I ever saw. Wind was blowing the trees so they were bent in half.At one moment the house shook and we were sure a tree came down on us but we were lucky.This lasted about 20 minutes or so. Power went out. In the morning about 1 kilometer away from us, this was the aftermath

Straight line winds.

I went through that exact same thing earlier this year. One minute I was sitting in my van wiring up a radio and the next trees were blowing down around me and I couldn't open the door to even get into the house. A minute later it was done.

Weather is scary stuff...
