Default longleaf pines and ice damage...question

Well, I am assuming that the trees are old enough to have gone through
ice storms before. Give them time. The shapes might not be the same,
but they won't die or anything.

In our part of the country (Zone 7) a lot of longleaf pines were
heavily damaged by a major ice storm this winter. Question: Anyone
know from experience how these damaged trees will do over the longer
haul? I am talking about fairly large longleaf pines with their tops
ripped off or major branches torn off. Will they die quickly or
longer term? Will they shrug if off and recover eventually?
I'd like to do some planning regarding these trees, and if they are
going to die..we might as well cut them down and replace them now, eh?
Thanks for the info.
