A SWATH OF STRONG STRAIGHT-LINE WINDS AFFECTED SOUTHEAST TRUMBULL
COUNTY IN BROOKFIELD TOWNSHIP. DAMAGE WAS OBSERVED ALONG EVERETT
EAST ROAD FROM WEST OF COUNTY ROUTE 167 TO GREENSLEAVES

ALONG EVERETT EAST ROAD, WINDS LIFTED A TRAMPOLINE FROM A
BACKYARD, DEPOSITED IT IN A RESIDENCE'S FRONT YARD, AND BLEW DOWN
A FENCE. IN THE TRUMBULL COUNTY METROPARKS, ON THE NORTH SIDE OF
EVERETT EAST ROAD, APPROXIMATELY 30 TO 40 TREES WERE BLOWN DOWN,
ALL ORIENTED TOWARD THE SOUTHEAST.
SEVERAL HEALTHY TREES WERE SNAPPED AT THE BASE OF THE TRUNK,
SUPPORTING HIGHER-END WIND ESTIMATES. A LARGE TREE WAS ALSO
BLOWN DOWN ON THE NORTH SIDE OF EVERETT EAST ROAD, CLIPPING A
HOME AND DAMAGING THE ROOF. ADDITIONALLY, SEVERAL LARGE TREE
LIMBS FELL ONTO TWO HOMES, CAUSING MINOR STRUCTURAL DAMAGE.
OTHER TREES WERE DOWNED ON THE SOUTH SIDE OF EVERETT EAST ROAD.
ALL OBSERVED TREE DAMAGE AND DEBRIS WERE CONSISTENTLY ORIENTED
TOWARD THE SOUTHEAST, INDICATING STRAIGHT-LINE WIND DAMAGE.
MAXIMUM WIND GUSTS ARE ESTIMATED AT ABOUT 90 MPH.
