Standing Tall: Storm Damage & Your Tree
Helping Homeowners lessen the effects of storm damage to their lives. During an hour and a half on the evening of May 3, 1999, thousands of homes were destroyed and lives in Oklahoma were irreparably changed by some of the strongest storms ever recorded. A group of tornadoes, including an F5, ripped through central Oklahoma with winds in excess of 200 miles per hour. In less than one-half hour, nearly 4000 trees were lost, leaving a tree replacement cost for homeowners in excess of $1 million. This guidebook and accompanying website (www.treesafterthestorm.org) were created to provide sound, concise information on addressing storm damage to trees – to help ourselves and others rebuild. Our hope is that you will never need this information, but in case you do – begin the process of damage assessment early and be thorough. And don’t forget to REPLANT!
