From an unusual and particularly powerful windstorm in our area November 30/December 1 2011.
Shell gas station in Pasadena, California:
Mission District in San Marino:
Madison Heights neighborhood in Pasadena:
Before the wimpy California comments begin...I know this may not be a "big deal" in certain parts of the country but here in Earthquake Country this was a very rare occurrence.

When I was a kid, I truly believed in the Wizard of Oz! In the middle of the night, during a terrible storm (most likely a tornado) my Father's barn was whipped thru my parents bedroom wall just over their bed. Being a kid, it never occurred to me how lucky we were that no one was injured . . . we just thought it was super cool and went looking for Munchkins!

Most what I've seen in here are fallen trees. Unfortunately, many trees are dying and than knocked out by winds.

Nothing quite that messy - when I was a kid I saw a huge tree branch crush my mom's car roof, blowing out the windows in the process. That was a pretty scary result of high winds

The oddest was in a hurricane. A friend's entire back porch was located intact two full blocks away

When Hurricane Isabel came through, we saw tons of pine trees in houses on the street behind ours, but none on our street.

Just trees down ... on a roof - but not too much damage to the roof. We don't get a lot of big "storms" here.

I also remember the winds in Pasadena and The San Gabriel Valley. 5 days of power outage. Trees uprooted. Many structures upside down. A mess.

A single wide mobilehome literally blew up in the air and landed on top of the mobilehome next door to it. That was probably about 10 years ago and I wish I had kept the newspaper photo of it. I have searched the archives several times for it to no avail, but it was a sight to behold. Fortunately nobody was home at either house when it happened.

At my parent's house the neighbor had a giant tree that had been in the process of falling over for some time. It finally fell over, thankfully towards the street, and took out a light pole.
And now for the obligatory "California damage" picture:

One of my clients had a trampoline in the back yard smash into a picture window and break it.
Otherwise, it's just the blown over trees on roofs and stuff, aka normal things.

I expect the owning company has seen this kind of mess before. I also expect they have a hose-down area that leaves things in much better shape after a good shower, and then a spray antiseptic that takes care of anything else that remains. Wind-blown is unusual, but it would not surprise me if people cause at least that much damage if they get drunk or high in fairgrounds or other large gatherings.
