Weather Alert: Treeblown threat?

[RichardT]

It's a mess here. Sitka edge trees left for the hand fellers have smashed their way into the garden next door (it's a big garden thankfully) and into our ravine & burn. Big ones hung up on wee ones bent like bows, root plates pointing skywards....A nearby farm is cut off by a beech avenue that's been dropped en masse over the only access track...

Lots and lots of damage here. We've had no power since 1530 yesterday, both bridges were closed (virtually unheard of), loads of predominantly oak with snapped tops and limbs.

 

The estate golf course looks like it has been shelled!

 

Pictures to follow later when we get power back again!

I am doing some research at Myerscough about wind related tree failures. If any of you guys have any photos of trees that have failed whether whole trees or parts of trees, could you possibly e-mail them to me along with as much information as possible that you have about them. i.e. location in as much detail as you know, and date/time of failure. thank you very much for your time.
