The strange news is that breathing forests aren’t uncommon and the internet has seen a lot of videos since 2012. Explaining the cause of this video, Mark Vanderwouw, a certified arborist tells The Weather Network said, “During a rain and windstorm event the ground becomes saturated, ‘loosening’ the soil’s cohesion with the roots as the wind is blowing on a tree’s crown,”
The wind tries to ‘push’ the trees over, and as the force is transferred to the roots, the ground begins to ‘heave’. If the winds were strong enough and lasted long enough more roots would start to break and eventually some of the trees would topple, he claims.
Wow, that was scary, yet we are relieved with the explanation. Happy travelling guys!
