Technically maybe but it was easily 75-100 mile an hour winds to knock 2 trees over 100 feet tall from the root lifting a portion of driveway. The soil wasn't even saturated yet.
I was at a stoplight when the winds started. They came out of nowhere all of a sudden. It was literally like a hurricane outside, and that’s not hyperbole. Trees were bent over with the constant wind, and there were strong gusts of wind. Rain was hitting the windshield with a force I’ve never seen before. It was unbelievable. I’ve never seen anything like it except during a hurricane. Flood water in the streets, debris everywhere, downed trees, power out everywhere for homes, businesses, stoplights, etc. It was literally like a brief hurricane out there yesterday.

Yep totally agree it was like a mini hurricane here in Cypress at Fry and 290. Wind more fierce than Harvey and sheets of rain while in it. Each time i thought it would slow, then bang!, a new gust and round of wind.

I watched the wind change from W to N to E as it rolled by. Crazy event.
