Re:The tree is still standing, with no visible damage, it's just dead.

have i missed something in the nature of trees? isn't it common for dead trees to remain upright for many years after their death (and contrary wize, some trees that fall as a result of storms, have enough root structure intact, that they don't die outright..) so a fallen tree isn't always a dead tree, and standing tree isn't always a live one..

i think too, that devastated would cover a large area (the forest was devastated,)...but.
