My area was hit by a derecho about 5 years back. We had 140+mph straight line winds for about an hour straight, and it devastated the area. A huge percentage of old growth trees got snapped like toothpicks. A couple years after, the city planted trees in all of the easement for a good portion of the residential area. Had to have been thousands of trees. I got 6 because I’m on a corner.
So my answer is have mother nature tear everything down then they may just do it.

For sure. It was really sad to see 50’ tall oak trees broken in half. Fortunately for us, when they planted trees, they didn’t native species for our area. I think one of mine is an oak, a maple, and maybe a couple smaller trees. I have some red buds I planted myself that are starting to get big enough to provide shade for at least my dogs.
