heavily wooded area = lots of flying trees.
trust me, I know..
I bow to experience, I would have thought trees greatly dampen wind, so much for thinking.
We were in a heavily wooded lot during Andrew in South Dade. Yes, the trees blocked the wind, but they also provided plenty of debris to fly around, large heavy branches and logs were flying, and the trunks of mature oaks and Dade Co. pines actually broke in half and came crashing down. I think the trees were a windbreak, but it was only luck that the ones which fell missed the house, by mere feet in some instances. The storm itself was so noisy that you couldn't even hear the large trees breaking up right outside.
