My son's friend brought over some firecrackers, so we took an empty tomato paste can, poked a small hole in the tope, and placed it in a pan of water. Putting a firecracker in the hole caused the can to shoot 20 feet or so in the air and muffled the noise of the firecracker. They lit one off, and as it dropped in the street, it almost landed on the hood of a sheriff's patrol car. The deputy drove by with his window down, said "That's amazing. Be careful." and drove off.
The wind kicked up not long after dark.

"Kicked up" is one way to put it. We lost trees all over town, including my neighbor's sour cherry tree. :-(
