Straight-line wind damage

This evening around 7:30pm or so, very strong winds blew thru our neighborhood and knocked over several trees including our neighbor's next door and OURS. Another tree a door down from ours also got knocked down.

Straight-line winds looks to be the culprit. We did lose power for a few seconds, maybe possibly of the falling of the trees.
