We don't usually experience the high winds that people further East along the Columbia River for 20 miles do in "The Gorge." Some 2,000-4000 foot mountains of the Cascade range protect our area of Vancouver, the Orchards area, from the really high winds in the gorge.
A large limb fell from one of the Douglas Fir trees in our back yard. A storm with high winds broke the limb from the tree. It barely missed hitting the side of our home, missing by seven feet. It easily could have bounced up and broken a large double pane plate glass window on the northeast side. We were very lucky.
My son brought his electric chain saw over. He cut the limb into fireplace use size (24" max).
Glad it worked out
