In my yard, we had two big pine trees, maybe a foot and a half in diameter and completely healthy, SNAP IN HALF. (I can confirm they were completely healthy, I can see all the wood in the middle of the trunks now!) I am north of NYC, maybe 10 miles inland from Long Island Sound. We had only wind damage, but it was severe, worse than Irene. This storm took down many trees that survived both Irene and the Halloween snowstorm last year. And it also snapped power poles in half, when have you ever seen that before?
