In Washington State National Park, a mysterious force knocked down over a hundred large and strong trees. Many trees were not just felled, but were broken with incredible force like matches. The only scientifically plausible explanation is that a very strong wind was involved, but meteorologists say nothing like this was seen in the area that day.
The event, the consequences of which were noticed early in the morning of January 27, 2018, is reported by the Seattle Post-Intelligencer. Trees from Olympic National Park in the area near the northern shore of Lake Quinault were damaged.
The incident is called mysterious, since according to the reports of meteorologists that day there were no squally winds in this area, and the weather was normal.
None of the meteorological devices also recorded wind anomalies. A theoretically possible version of an accidental "microburst" of wind was put forward, but the representative of the National Meteorological Service rejected this version, since in order to knock over 100 strong trees in this way, the wind had to blow at a speed of 70-80 miles per hour (112-128 km per hour). This speed is the wind speed in a strong hurricane and it is impossible not to notice.
In addition, in this area there were no conditions for creating such a "microburst". On that day, in some parts of the state, areas with low atmospheric pressure and not weak windy were noted. But this was not the case in the park.
So the mystery of the fallen trees in the Washington State Olympic National Park is still a mystery.
