CARLYLE - David and Juanita Wolfe live on Sixth Street West in Carlyle, and at 11:30 p.m. Monday evening, a brief but severe windstorm resulted in the downing of two large poplar trees.
Thankfully, there was no damage to the residence, neighbours or their properties.
The Wolfes moved to Carlyle in 2009 where David was stationed as a corporal at the local RCMP detachment. He is now a sergeant working at Southend and has a regular commute. Juanita is a receptionist for Regal Auto Body.
During the freak storm, two of the largest poplar trees in Carlyle broke off near their base. One bent over and landed in their front yard and another ended up leaning on their roof.
“We are fortunate that there is minimal damage”, said Juanita. “David is presently working at Southend and our son Simon and his friends have agreed to clean up the yard at the cost of pizza and refreshments. We were very lucky.”
