A man who was trapped in his ute after a gumtree fell on it was not injured, ACT Emergency Services Agency said.
The man was driving on Northbourne Avenue near MacArthur Avenue in Turner when the tree landed on his car, the ESA said.
The incident was reported before 5.30pm on Monday, and power went out in nearby suburbs including Lyneham and O'Connor.
Power had since been restored, Evo Energy said.
ACT emergency services said they had responded to 37 requests for assistance regarding fallen trees since 12pm Sunday, as winds up to 70km/h ravaged Canberra.
"With the current windy conditions likely to continue into tonight and tomorrow the community is asked to exercise caution," the agency said.
"ACT State Emergency Service volunteers respond during emergencies to make temporary repairs and ensure the area is safe. This includes actions such as tarping roofs and making safe trees on private land, but not permanent repairs.
"Where permanent repairs are required, please contact your insurance company, contractors, landlord or housing provider."
