numerous Oak trees were snapped and uprooted with large limbs
blown downwind.  A house in the vicinity lost several courses of
shingles.  We applied a higher than expected wind speed to the

exhibited the most intense damage with roughly 50% of them
uprooted or snapped.  Finally, the last tree damage occurred one
