Question

why trees uprooted during a strom

Answer 1

Due to the wind they are brought out of soil so uprooted

Answer 2

During strong or severe wind storms, full tree canopies can act as a sail in the wind. When wind speeds are excessive, storms can cause entire trees to uproot. This is more likely to occur when soils are wet and the tree's roots are unable to securely anchor themselves in the soil.

A healthy tree is able to move (flex) in the wind, which is exactly what prevents it from breaking apart during a storm. But even the healthiest (sound) trees are susceptible to wind injury.

During strong or severe wind storms, full tree canopies can act as a sail in the wind. When wind speeds are excessive, storms can cause entire trees to uproot. This is more likely to occur when soils are wet and the tree's roots are unable to securely anchor themselves in the soil. Fortunately, many uprooted trees can be saved as long as the majority of their roots are intact and the "patient" can be accessed with large equipment (such as a crane).
