A home was narrowly missed by falling trees after a strong wind storm kicked up Friday morning in Olalla.

Strong winds blew through the area taking down branches and falling several trees around 8 a.m.

A caretaker of a rental property was seen cutting up several coniferous trees that had fallen across Main Street Friday morning around 10:30 a.m.

He said Olalla often gets gusts of strong winds as the mountains create a wind tunnel of sorts.

Although tree debris was scattered throughout Olalla Friday morning no major damage was reported at the time this story was posted.
