Safety Note:
Straight-line
winds can be very dangerous, even deadly. As seen here, these
winds caused a large tree to fall on this vehicle and caused heavy
damage. Thankfully no one was in the vehicle at the time, but it is
easy to see how a person can be seriously injured or killed by trees
falling on vehicles. If you are in a vehicle when a severe thunderstorm
warning is issued, pull off the road in an open area away from trees or
other objects which may fall on your car. |
