Unbelievable devastation, I thought young trees like that should have been able to flex sufficiently not to suffer that sort of damage.
I can't find the photo's, but the main reason for most of the damage, especially in the Lakes, are the tree roots are not able to establish well before coming against the bedrock below.

Yes, there were many blown over with sparse roots, but as the photo's show there were many snapped as well, which proves just how strong the wind really was.
