The correct answer is C. A windstorm blew down trees in the Boundary Waters Canoe Area in Minnesota on July 4, 1999.

Explanation:

A weather event refers to a specific phenomenon in weather that in most cases is not common but particular and specific, which is different to weather patterns, this includes specific hurricanes, abnormal rain patterns, etc. Considering this, the one that is an example of a weather event is "A windstorm blew down trees in the Boundary Waters Canoe Area in Minnesota on July 4, 1999" because this is a specific phenomenon rather than a pattern in weather as int the case of hurricane seasons or permanent weather conditions.
