The Upstate isn't a coastal market, but that doesn't mean September storm season passes it by. Weakened tropical systems regularly push inland this time of year, dropping heavy rain and gusty wind on trees that spent the summer holding full leaf canopy.
That combination, saturated ground and a fully loaded canopy catching wind, is exactly what topples trees that looked perfectly stable a week earlier. Root systems that were already compromised by disease, storm damage, or poor planting often give out under conditions that a healthy tree would shrug off.
A quick health check before a storm system arrives can catch a leaning tree, exposed roots, or dead limbs while there's still time to act, instead of after they've come down on a roof or a fence line.
