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. “The heart of the discerning acquires knowledge.” Proverbs 18:15 |
Peter Quill User ID: 73192961 United States 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.

We have a meteoric strike and a mini-tornado thus far, and we have you who what, cast a spell upon those Firs (not cedars, different family altogether)?

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 United States 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’. :) |
