Solidity of the drift is dependant a bit on how strong the wind
was that made it. Being right on the shores of Georgian Bay
here with the prevailing wind right off the water I often see
several storms a year with 100+ kph (60 mph) winds..
I just had a perfectly healthy 65 foot pine come down on my
power lines the other day in fact.. not amused..  and that
was in only a 90kph wind, but steady for a couple of days..
Lost the power for about 25 hours..  Had to fight with the
power company to get them to come in and pull it off of the
7200 volt lines it was bouncing on..
