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.
From Chuck Boots: at the corner of 17th Ave NW and 5th St NW

From Josh Yack: at the corner of 1st Ave S & 6th St

From Bob Berg, a trampoline trying to get over a barn

From Ken Hanks, who says: "a metal shed was found wrapped around guy wires on 7th st ne, just north of 36th ave ne."

From Victoria Blackaby Goering, kiddie pools trying to make it over the fence:

KRTV friend Valerie Meador says: Just pulled our fence out of the road...snapped the 4x4 fence posts right off....over in fox farm. :(

And from KRTV alum Fred Pfeiffer is a photo of a damaged highway sign:

From Tammy Green: Yard light comes down missing the garage!

And a wobbly Best Western sign triggered a brief evacuation for diners at Baja Fresh/Canyons Burger restaurant:

On a lighter note, Amy Reinlasoder Greenwood shared this picture and comment: "Wind took the roof off the house... luckily no one was home at the time ;) "
