48 Strong Wind Gusts Preceeding The Rain

This storm was a "rattler"! A wall of heavy rain was visible offshore, and as it got nearer, the first symptoms of the wind were strong gusts hitting the trees in our area as the falling water pushed aside the lower air. We have experienced this before where torrential rain sounds like a roar getting nearer as the heavy rain drums on the leaves of all the plants. Here the wind from it pushed many of the Palm tree fronds hard over.
