Silver lining in England's 1987 windstorm
In October 1987 a 110 mph windstorm devastated southern England felling millions of trees and altering landscapes. Yet nature regrew rapidly with windblown seedlings forming new woodlands, bluebells, and wildflowers. The National Trust noted gains as dead trees sheltered beetles and birds, while gardens adapted with windbreaks and altered borders.
