A windstorm caused a tree to fall on a nearby home.

A windstorm is wind that is strong enough to cause at least light damage to trees and buildings and may or may not be accompanied by rain. Wind speeds during a windstorm typically exceed 34 miles per hour. Wind damage can be attributed to gusts or longer periods of stronger sustained winds. Windstorms may last for just a few minutes when caused by downbursts from thunderstorms, or they may last for hours to several days when they result from large-scale weather systems.
