the bigger they are the harder they fall, on you!
And they are quite attackers - in the middle of the forest where no one can hear!
Last spring I woke up in the middle of the night to the sound of a tree crashing in the woods during a thunder storm. Alas the next morning I could not find the tree!
Ahhhhh, you see, if a tree falls in the forest, and there is no one to see it, we have a problem;
But !!! we now have "proof" (and who may I ask, is more reliable than Joanne?), that someone actually "HEARD" it!!!
In the tropical rain forests, one of the most pressing and silent perils is a falling tree which comes in a soundless fashion.
Even if you were there you mignt not hear the sound.

I tried hitting the "Bach" button in your signature, but it didn't work !

If permitted I will save my signiture as an mp3 file,
My former father-in-law a botanist used to talk me for walks in the forests of the upper Peninsula of Michigan. Occasionally he would point out a tree that he said was about to fall. He called them widow makers.

Interesting.
I have heard that it (pointing) is almost impossible in the rain forest.
No sound in the night. And the bivouac is very dangerous.
Bivouac? You mean you went into the forest and there was no Holiday Inn? Or did you not see or hear it?
It's a story by a naturalist.
JoanneDorel: How come trees are always widow-makers? Aren't they ever widower-makers? Do trees only fall on men? <and don't you DARE say, 'No, but women are smart enough to get out of the way.'>
Trees only fall on men because women are so smart the get out of the way.
Then, why did they fall for men?
May be they, those particular trees, were women scorned.
They = wimmin, not trees; ie,
Then why do wimmin fall for min?
Now that is a mythical BW!
