and there needs to be a wind storm to blow them off?

I'm sorry but I think your logic fails here and your argument does fulfill its demonstrative purpose I'm afraid.
The wind will blow regardless of how many leaves are left on a tree. The wind is not conscious of the leaves. The wind is simply not conscious.
The change occurs in the leaves which become dormant and eventually die causing them to weaken and fall off the tree.
What exactly are you trying to show here? I do agree that everything which happens to exist is not due to mere chance, but there are other...dare I say, better, ways to show it then this argument.
It would be prudent not to give atheists such an easy argument to attack. They will be quite unforgiving about it.

Gosh, I hope you're kidding. The wind blows just as hard whether or not there are leaves on the friggin' trees. Wind is caused by differences in atmospheric pressure and by temperature gradients, not because the wind 'knows' something. It's just AIR CURRENTS, kid!

Wind occurs as a result of differences in air pressure between two localities. Wind cannot be said to know anything.

Everything is cause and effect. When the barometric pressure changes....the wind blows. The bigger the change...the stronger the wind. Wind doesn't "know" anything.

The universe does not operate on chance or sheer randomness. There are forces and "laws" at work.
And leaves get left on trees all the time.
Things have come to be as they are due to the forces and laws, things "co-operate", because they are all subject to the same laws and forces. It's a system.
Trees evolved to deal with the weather.
think about it

The wind never blows, it just sucks.

huh?
you are aware that the wind blows in places there are no trees too right?
i dare you to make less sense.
edit: how did i get 2 thumbs downs. are you guys really that ignorant? there is wind in the desert, over the ocean, and in many places where trees dont have "leaves".

Leaves fall because they form an abscission layer of waxy cells in their petiole. There is no "leaf-blowing wind fairy".
