The powerful winds roaring through Great Falls on Wednesday caused some property damage and sent some usually stationary objects airborne.

Downed trees damaged fences in some neighborhoods, some road signs were crumpled, and trampolines and kiddie pools went flying.

Here are some of the pictures that people have shared with us on the KRTV Facebook page and in the KRTV Viewer Photo Gallery.

If you have pictures to share, you can upload them directly to the gallery or email them to krtvnews@gmail.com.
