Wind

Wow. I've just been awakened by the wind. There is quite the gale blowing out right now. There is a rumble to it like a freight train going by in the distance. I can hear things snapping and falling over at the nearby construction sites. The three construction cranes are twisting in it and I can see the strings of Christmas lights on them flapping. The cat door is flapping. The little shrubberies in the townhouse gardens across the alley that never move in the wind are flapping around.

According to Environment Canada the winds right now are in the neighbourhood of 100 Km/hr (60 mph).

EDIT 4:10 a.m.: Now there is lightning on the mountains.
