Storm damage

[urbpan]

Lots of branches and a few trees down in our neighborhood, after Sunday's storm. I drove around immediately after, looking to see how bad it was but I missed this one. Another one fell on an occupied car at a stoplight in Coolidge Corner, but the driver was okay.

According to the national weather service, air from 10,000 feet up was suddenly pushed to the ground, resulting in 70 mile an hour gusts and a huge temperature drop. It was amazing, and beautiful, and terrifying.

We had that in my hood a few years ago. I was like WTF and thought it was a tornado. Don't they call that phenomena a stormblast or something along those lines?
