the night the gusty winds blew
"The strong winds that affected Singapore last night between 11 pm (22 Apr 09) and 12:30 am (23 Apr 09) were caused by an intense fast-moving 'Sumatra' squall.
"Mean wind speeds ranging from 33 to 54 km per hour were recorded across the island. The highest recorded wind gust was 83 km per hour in the western areas.
"A wind gust is a sudden brief increase in the speed of the wind.
COOL!i was studying last night when the wind gust started blowing. what an entertaining night to study. the wind was so strong that one of the tree outside my window broke into half

awesome, my very first natural disaster.
