Picture 7: This picture was taken looking southwest. The trees
are the same as Picture 6. Two lines of force can be seen.
1. The trees fell in the wind event from the southeast to the northwest.
Neither of the two trees showed any evidence of collision.
2. The tree on the right had been deflected to the right.
3. This showed that the trees fell first, followed by the flood waters pushed
them, with only the smaller tree moving toward the right in the picture,
because of the flood waters from the southwest.
4. The tree on the left shows that it may have been twisted as it fell.
