This afternoon, at close to 5p.m., we experienced a squall!
Some time last year, we had experienced a similar one. That was late at night and too dark for us to see the effects of the strong winds. Today we saw how dramatic it gets.
The rain beat mercilessly on our window panes. Inside our apartment, we could hear the winds howling and rattling our windows!
The field in front of our condo was no longer visible. Clearly, you can't see the roads beyond the field either.
The wind knocked over a young tree. My heart bleeds for its premature death. :( I wonder if the occupants of that ground floor unit are pleased the tree no longer blocks their view or worried their home is now completely exposed.
As usual, the deck chairs fell into the pool for a swim! I say 'as usual' because that's exactly what happened to 2 other deck chairs last year.
The squall lasted for a good 10 - 15 minutes before the winds died down a little.
