Blessed Ev User ID: 72286726 ![]() 02/11/2018 08:28 AM Report Abusive Post Report Copyright Violation | Same thing happened to trees in the UP in early 2000. A line of huge trees snapped off from their base. It was thought it was wind shear. It was just like this, only particular trees not all trees in the area damaged. 1785: Thomas Jefferson: “Indeed, I tremble for my country when I reflect that God is just” Truth is like the sun. You can shut it out for awhile but it's not going away. Elvis Presley :vendetta: |
Peter Quill User ID: 73192961 02/11/2018 08:34 AM ![]() Report Abusive Post Report Copyright Violation | I've seen this before, it was probably a tornado. The smaller variety F1's and F2's happen much more frequently and in many more places than people would think. I've been in two right here on long Island and one in Queens. Guarantee their was a thunderstorm that night. PQ Edit, I've seen patches of trees like this in upstate NY as well, I also assume it was tornadic activity. ![]() Last Edited by Peter Quill on 02/11/2018 08:37 AM Guardian |

I do not think it is the cause, it is the similarity to the oddness of the Tunguska event. trees differ in their strength this is odd I look at the mature ones out my window and go...oh shit...I hope they don't suddenly just decide to snap for no apparent reason.

I've been a 'tactical faller', our boarder is a professional forest fire fighter and I asked him and he is perplexed. He also does falling. The snap look defies logical explanation. As stated, I live in the same micro-climate (Temperate Rain Forest just up the way). I've never seen anything like it before.

C. corax User ID: 757457 ![]() 02/11/2018 10:03 AM Report Abusive Post Report Copyright Violation | Red feather lakes colorado had a blowdown about 30 years ago. Thousands of trees. It turned out it was an area that had been selectively logged. Many of the biggest trees had been cut down and removed leaving less prominent trees to stand on their own. What was likely a microburst toppled them. I’m not saying this is that. Just sayin’. :) |
