Interesting point I saw on a storm forum: In many areas with plants that are not strongly salt water resistant, the surge will “salt” the soil, so many plants including trees will die or be weakened, causing many falls of trees that survive the storm initially, later. Or they have to be cut down B4 they fall. I’m half tempted to try to find a list of what trees are / are not salty soil resistant — a few are obvious...
Check with your local county extension office for a list of native plants which are salt tolerant.
