Idk why the left side of ND is excluded, it's -36 in Williston today.
The trees have probably already exploded. It's how they knew to warn those east of them.
The danger of most things that explode, goes away once they explode.
Depends how big they explode
Beyond a certain point, there are explosions that only really start being a problem at the point of explosion
Are you suggesting that these trees are likely to be fissile?
We just can't rule it out
It's probably more about large variances in temperature over a shorter period. If it's already -36 today and been similarly cold recently then the trees are already frozen. There isn't a risk from internal liquid water freezing and expanding.
Because you guys don't have trees........
I don't live there, but they do have trees.
