[QUOTE="greybeard, post: 1545282, member: 18945"] Depends. Twice as many trees would have meant twice as much to clean up, but 200 X as many would have blocked a great deal of the wind--would have taken some of the energy out. I've seen it myself in hurricanes here in the middle of the national forest. Rita and Ike both laid down a lot of trees but they were trees that were out in the open or trees that were on the edge of an opening. Homes and barns that were surrounded by national forest (like mine is) fared very good and all out here in the countryside, there was very little structural damage, but inside town limits and closer to town, where there were very few trees, structure damage was everywhere. Of course, if you have that many trees, you won't have much grass either, which defeats the purpose you have set your course on.. [/QUOTE]
