This image shows the most obvious damage looking west across highway 108. The Beaudoin farm is to the left of the image. Notice that the trees on top of the ridge are sheared off on the middle and have fallen towards the camera (eastward), indicating damaging westerly winds. Trees in the lee of this ridge are not damaged. This indicates that a gust of strong westerly winds shot over the ridge, damaging the trees on top, while leaving trees below unscathed.
