It was blowing pretty hard for about 15 minutes. The canopy on my deck flexed a good 3 feet from vertical but stayed intact. All of the pool floaties ended up against the fence. It was pretty scary, but short lived thankfully.

A person at my work was flying into Toronto and on final approach when the winds kicked up. She said the plane dropped 50 ft suddenly 3 or 4 times. She almost threw up. At the last minute the pilot aborted the landing and took off back into the sky. They flew around the lake a few times until the winds died down and finally back for a safe landing.

She said it was the most scared she has every been in her life.
