There are generally 6 forms of storm damage which a tree can not normally stand up to:

• Blowovers – these are where the entire tree falls down.
• Stem Failures – this is where the trunk of the tree splits above the ground, causing the crown to fall or sag violently whilst the lower part stays standing normally.
• Root Failures – is where the roots of the tree crack under the ground, leading to the tree pitching or swinging significantly.
• Branch Failures – is where one or more limbs of the tree break off.
• Crown Twists – is where the trunk of the tree turns enough to split, but stays up. This happens most typically on trees with extremely disproportionate crowns. The entire crown effectively transforms into a weather vane in a storm, turning to follow the wind in a way that the trunk can not.
• Lightening Hits – When lightening strikes the tree gets burned and electrocuted, but stays up, at the moment. Lightening hits have a several secondary effects like massive water loss and opening a large amount of surface area up to pests and vermin, so a lightening-hit tree is always at a very much higher risk to fall despite the fact that it endured the original windstorm.
