premise: Trees got uprooted and blown into neighbors ' yards . On 40th and Shea , which is just a few miles from me , a whole row of powerlines fell into the street ( I saw a friends ' pictures of the destruction ) . At ASU , a whole building was ripped apart . The destruction is fucking scary , but the storm was SO COOL . What may have caused the trees to be uprooted ?
hypothesis: ASU wanted to remove them before an intense storm tears them down .
