There are some trees that do break in the wind but they are usually rotten or infested with a disease and hollowed out.
I am Alan Booth, an ordinary British Man . I'm not one of the famous people that have the same name as me, just an ordinary guy. Welcome to my main blog, a true reliable record of history from the perspective of an ordinary man, a place filled with my thoughts; perhaps my thoughts will persist longer on here than in my brain itself. My twitter I.D. is @alspresso.

Eunice Strikes
Storm Eunice just passed over England and my home. I saw that some trees were pushed over. Trees are amazing to me, every tree I have ever seen toppled by the wind were fully intact. The point of failure is mostly the ground itself. Sometimes the stump of the tree is surrounded by concrete and the concrete breaks but the tree itself doesn't. Trees balance themselves very well, they are not too brittle and they are not too soft, they can sway in the wind and not break.
