Canada, where it is always raining, freezing raining, hailing or snowing. And ALWAYS windy. What's wrong with Florida???

The other day, When I was walking with Jen the wind blew down a tree (I think the word is diameter.... ) that was about a foot (through the middle) the tree looked perfectly healthy, too. Not old or dead or anything. Huge oak in the middle of a field, it didn't have much protection from the wind, even before it fell, it was all bent to one side. Large trees blowing down really isn't uncommon around here.
