I should imagine hundreds even thousands Rock. With winds at 165mph, not a lot would have been left standing.

Back in the 1987 hurricane that we had here in the UK, with winds of 130+ mph, the town of Sevenoaks became "oneoak". 6 of these magnificent giants that the town was named after had been felled by the storm. 7 new oaks were planted that same year.. so now its "eightoaks".

I really do hate to think how many ancient wonders have been lost .

All the best,

Aaron
