There are some tree species that are most likely to fall in wind. Some of these species are the willow white spruce, cedar, and white pine. This is because they live in wetter soils. Taller trees with large canopies are also more susceptible.
Q. Can centripetal force ever do work?
ANSWER: The centripetal force is always perpendicular to the direction of motion. Only the component of the force in the direction of motion can do work. The centripetal force has no such component, so it can never do work.

Q. How fast does a tree fall?
During storms, there is a critical wind speed, of around 42 m/s (90 mph), at which almost all tree trunks break – irrespective of their size or species – according to a new study done by researchers in France.
Q. Do healthy trees fall?
Aside from a few broken branches, most healthy trees can weather brief periods of high winds and heavy rain from thunderstorms. However, in situations where the ground is saturated, tree roots can loose their grip in the soil and an entire tree can fall over.
Q. What does tree rot look like?
Signs of internal rot include mushrooms growing on brittle bark, branches falling off, and discolored leaves. Decaying trees can be dangerous, as recent events have shown.
Q. Can a half dead tree be saved?
Can you save a dying tree? If your tree is sick or only part of it is dying, you may still be able to save it with the help of an arborist. First, identify the problem: A sick tree will display similar signs as a dying or dead tree but not as widespread.
Q. What are the odds of a tree falling on you?

Q. Can you die from a falling tree?
In a population of 60 million, this means a one in 10 million chance of dying from a falling tree, or a one in 20 million chance of being killed by a tree in a public open space. However, because trees so rarely kill or seriously injure people, when they do, it is headline news.
Q. Is tree damage covered by insurance?
If a tree hits your home or other insured structure, such as a detached garage, your standard homeowners insurance policy covers the damage to the structure, as well as any damage to the contents. This is true for trees felled by wind, lightning or hail.
Q. Who is liable if my tree falls on my neighbor’s property?
When a tree falls over onto a neighbor’s property, that neighbor should submit a claim to his or her insurance company immediately. If the tree fell on the neighbor’s home when the homeowner was trying to cut down the tree without professional help, the damage would be the homeowner’s responsibility.
Q. Who is responsible if a dead tree falls?
Who Is Responsible for Fallen Tree Damage? In most states, if your tree or any part of it falls on your neighbors’ property and causes damage to their property through no fault of your own (due to a snow storm, winds, hurricane, or another so-called “act of God”), you are not responsible.
Q. Can I make my neighbor cut down a dead tree?
No! Crossing property lines to trim or cut down a tree is not something you or your arborist can do. Neither you nor your arborist may go onto a neighbor’s property or destroy the tree. If you do go onto a neighbor’s property or harm the tree, you could be liable for double or triple the value of the tree!
