More Windstorm--December 4, 2003

Windstorm Introduction    Before the Storm     Red Oak, Japanese Red Pine, and Honey Locust

 

     
    Pines usually lose a top or break along the trunk, but three
    of our four destroyed shore pines were uprooted by the wind.
    This one created a twenty-four inch hole with eighteen inches
    of water in it. The roots also lifted several large rhododendrons
    into the air.

    

    

    
  
    Doreen stands in the triple top of a large Shore Pine that tangled
    with a Beauty of Littleworth and won. Another took down a Sourwood
    tree with it.

    
We also lost a Pinion Pine and two Japanese
    Red Pines. In addition, a Scotch Pine, a Japanese Black Pine,
    a Lodgepole Pine, and an Austrian Pine all tipped over, but I
    was able to right them with cables.
