Take care. Glad you and yours survived it all.
The trees will survive or not for that is the way of things.
Mine survived a much less event ( major winds and 1-2" hail) with some
interesting natural pruning
and defoiation...all survived and are doing fine....some took a number of
years.
Keep growing
Pauline

Horrid we have a very strong tornado during 20 minutes with
wind over 100 mph and hail

I could put in safety the bigger ones.. but a trident
maple a prunus mume has been badly defoliated and many
branches and twig broken as well a seigen that had a very
hard time to put back some leaves after a half defoliation
......
a pentaphilla very small had most of his o new needles
taken away:-( or broken twigs it had a real hard time to
struggle for life after a tought repotting on rock .

well Nature did his trimming and defoliating .. I guess
all the injured littles ones will survive and will put
leaves back and will have more wabi and sabi added by the
touch of elements
