geez, what a windstorm! we had gusts of 100km/hour around 8pm today. the wind took off a couple of roofs from a couple townhouses. even the almost 100 yr old christmas in leduc got toppled over. the tree was in a middle of a move to telford place and had just been planted and held up with cables when one of the cables snapped during the windstorm. the tree was moved to make room for a strip mall on the property from which the tree once stood. a lady living there has a sentimental value to it because her grandfather planted it in 1905 and prevented it from getting it chopped down. hopefully the 80 ft tree survives the move. well see.
