Re: Flying boat ...
I can say, it was quite windy here today as well and I can honestly answer an age old question, with a definitive answer!!!
Trees definitely make a sound when they fall in the woods! Even if they don't know your there, I had just finished tracing a template for a little aluminum fishing boat I have and came in the house, the door was open and all of a sudden, CRASH, BANG limbs snapping and the ground rumbling!
A tree about 30 feet from the house, which was about 65 feet tall and a good 5-6 foot around at the base, broke off about 10 feet above the ground and hit several others on the way down, I am sure glad the wind was blowing away from the house!
