Different Types Of Storm Damage



All of these types of damage creates a different diagnosis for the trees’ potential survival, but making a prognosis is a task ideally left to a fully certified arborist. An unqualified amateur is much more likely to fail to notice a small detail that may well differentiate one conclusion from another, like observing the splinters from a crown twist but failing to see the slight lean which suggests that the roots also snapped.
There are generally 6 sorts of storm damage which a tree can’t usually stand up to:
- Blowovers – these are where the full tree falls down.
- Stem Failures – this is where the trunk of the tree cracks above the soil, causing the crown to fall or to lean strongly while the bottom section remains standing normally.
- Root Failures – is when the roots of the tree split under the soil, resulting in the tree bending or swaying considerably.
- Limb Failures – is where one or more limbs of the tree break off.
- Crown Twists – is when the trunk of the tree rotates sufficient to split, but stays standing. This occurs most typically on trees with very unbalanced crowns. The full crown basically transforms into a weather vane in a storm, twisting to follow the wind in a way that the trunk can not.
- Lightening Strikes – When lightening strikes the tree gets burned and electrocuted, but stays standing, at the moment. Lightening hits have a many secondary effects including massive water loss and opening a large amount of surface area up to pests and vermin, so a lightening-hit tree is typically at a substantially greater risk to fall even if it made it through the original windstorm.
