An underreported, deadly danger when severe storms strike:
Falling trees is an underrated danger from hazardous weather.Taking shelter during thunderstorms and checking trees around your home each year are important.
The little girl was killed, one of several victims of falling trees during recent bouts of severe weather in the South, and among the many killed by weather-felled trees every year in the United States.," Lainey Aschenbach wrote on a fundraising page established for the Lee family. "She loved to play outside and loved to play with her big brother."
Anybody who's unlucky enough to experience the type of weather that knocks down large trees has probably heard the unsettling snap, snap, snap of limbs breaking. Those who've survived a tree falling on their home describe it in horrifying detail, often using the same phrase: "It sounded like a bomb went off."The agency does track deaths from wind, which is a common reason why trees fall.
The most common weather condition at the time of death was a thunderstorm's winds or high winds not associated with thunderstorms, according to the study. Those two criteria accounted for 76% of the deaths. The rest were blamed on trees falling during tropical cyclones, tornadoes or snow and ice events.
