Partially uprooted trees?

[HuskStihl]

Got 20 inches of rain last night with a 40-50 mph winds from the west. Now have several beeches and hackberries leaning between 10 and 15 degrees to the east, with roots bulging up on the west sides. It continues to rain and storm, so the point may become moot, but generally speaking, do these need to come down if they stall in the "partial uproot" state?
Thanks in advance

That hackberry had been vertical. Busted top of an ERC/juniper (which of course landed on my fence) in the background.

Not necessarily. Post some pics, and we'll take a look.

Thanks Mang! I don't usually have a lake view either!

Yeah, we don't usually have a river out back either, lol. Once it dries up, get some close ups of the root crown and we'll see how bad it is.

Glad to see that the two of you are still around.

When the rain stops just prop them back up with the old Land Cruiser.

Beautiful place by the way.

All I can say is, "Holy Crap!"

I can't even imagine what Liberty county is like right now. That place floods if you sneeze.

I've guyed back some trees that were partially uprooted in a storm, although they were small than those. It may be that they are too big to be able to move them back into position or install guys that are effective.

Wow! that is a loot of rain, not every day you see a lake with trees in the middle of it.
