Excerpt from Forest Management Lessons From a 1949 Windstorm in Northern Wisconsin and Upper Michigan On October 10, 1949, an unusually severe Windstorm struck Wisconsin and the western half of the Upper Peninsula of Michigan. It caused heavy damage to the forests by uprooting, breaking, splitting, or tipping trees. Windstorms such as this inflict unpredictable losses in the forest and upset management plans, especially calculations of allowable cut. With some storms, such as the September 1938 hurricane which struck the New England States, tremendous damage results and probably few, if any, practical lessons can be learned about modifying forestry practices to mater lally reduce damage that might be caused in the future by other Windstorms. The Windstorm of October 10, 1949, was not in this class but was mild enough to provide an Opportunity for an overall survey. The conclusions drawn from this survey have certain practical applications for the manager of forest lands, especially where timber marking guides and policies are concerned.
