• Stem Failures – this is where the trunk of the tree breaks above the soil, making the crown to come down or sag strongly even though the bottom part stays standing normally.
• Root Failures – is when the roots of the tree split under the soil, resulting in the tree leaning or swaying significantly.
• Limb Failures – is where several limbs of the tree detach.
• Crown Twists – is when the trunk of the tree turns enough to split, but stays up. This happens most commonly on trees with very lopsided crowns. The full crown effectively ends up being a weathervane in a windstorm, twisting to follow the wind in a manner in which the trunk can’t.
• Lightening Hits – When lightening strikes the tree gets burned and electrocuted, but stays up, for now. Lightening hits have a lot of additional effects including massive water loss and opening a large amount of surface area up to pests and vermin, so a tree hit by lightening is typically at a considerably greater risk to drop even if it endured the original storm.
