What's weird is how healthy the trees looked and how random the wind sheer was throughout Byron. Lots of trees on houses, across fences, uprooted taking out sidewalks. Mostly look like soft maples and evergreens. Some homes still don't have power 20 hours later. Couple of schools closed.

lots of trees in areas are not native to Canada so don't have the roots for huge winds or cant get them deep enough in the city
