The green grass makes me think the flattened trees were due to wind damage, as opposed to surge. Amazing. Thanks for the post.
That’s...incomprehensible.
Hope no one was climbing those trees to get above the storm surge.
But the wind was only 40 mph.
surreal!
Usually hurricane winds will uproot trees. Trees snapped off ten feet off the ground are from tornadic winds. When a hurricane has winds as strong as this one, there’s not much difference between the two.Storm researchers look at things like ground scouring and bark scouring to determine winds speeds and types of wind(straight line, cyclonic. This one will be studied closely
