Wind storm

Yesterday we had a wind storm blow through with sustained winds of 30+km/h and gusts as high as 100 km/h. It also hit Rice Lake. I've been trolling the web for photos of what the lake was like in the middle of all that wind. Here's what I've found this morning:

This photo was shown on the Cow Island facebook page. Scary.
And these were shown on The WeatherNetwork page for Peterboro. 

The quality is poor but in this one you can see the docks at the end are torn apart (the support legs are sticking up out of the water).
Knowing the direction that wind was howling, our dock would've been pounded. I'm really glad we didn't put it in last weekend.
