The traumatic effects of cyclonic winds on forest vegetation are documented for a regional storm front that was accompanied by a localized tornado. In assessing an ancient thanatocoenosis (death assemblage) that may be the result of blow-downs, it is important to document the regional scatter of trees in order to determine whether or not the traumatic event represents merely violent windstorms or is the result of cyclonic winds.
