I've seen them. But it doesn't take a full blown hurricane to pull a whole forest of planted pines off their shallow roots. They stand on top of the surface planted as they are where the legacy woods were birch and other deep rooted trees of less importance to business. Also notoriously in the 50-60s, a whole lot of "East Germany" style housing was put up for the socialist workers with less consideration for worst case heavy wind standards. Many of those were evacuated during the recent gale, like in Copenhagen. Add to that several below standards recent constructions incl. the recently opened new Berlin Bahnhof, were it didn't take much wind to destroy some or all of the structures. Ted, it always is easy to selectively film certain structures fallen apart and make that look like evidence that a major hurricane moved by. If that then can be blamed on MMGW, then we are in business with a profit to count. Taro
