WOW! That's a strong wind. A few days back weathermen were forecasting 85 mph winds in this area. Thank God we didn't get those. WNY did get 60 mph gusts in some areas. But just the thought of winds that high was a scary prospect. Willow trees don't hold up when winds are that strong; the yard becomes littered with branches. Our backyard has about eight, huge Weeping Willows. I love them. WB hates them. "They're too messy," he says.
