The days right after a storm passes through the Panhandle are when tree damage is easiest to miss, especially the kind that does not show up until months later.
A proper post-storm assessment looks past the obvious broken limbs to check for hairline trunk cracks, soil heaving around the root zone, and leaning that indicates root damage below the surface. Any of these can turn into a hazard well after the storm has passed. Even trees that appear untouched from the street can carry internal stress that weakens them well before the next storm season begins.
This is peak season for tropical weather across the Panhandle, and trees that took on wind stress even without visible damage are worth a second look before the next system moves through.
