Note that trees are completely stripped of foliage, hence the wintery look, and roofing material is shredded (0:16–0:30 and 1:15–1:40).

As an aside, the peak surge of fifteen to twenty feet verified, based on observed values from the Mermentau River in Grand Chenier:

Re: Tree Damage in Intense Landfalling Hurricanes of the Past
Time to add our newest intenese landfalling hurricane (typhoon): Aftermath of supertyphoon Goni in Gigmoto, Philippines. Being equivalent to the intenisty of Haiyan per JTWC, the damage here is very severe but not to the level of Haiyan yet, but damage surveys are still ongoing.

Gone forests, replaced by palm/coconut tree parts on the ground. Earlier images would have been useful for the comparison.
That said, I just found a good (sad) comparison of before/after cyclone Harold (not told about in this topic) in Melsisi - Pentecost island

PAGASA RADAR
BEFORE GONI - February 2018 (I took all these pics from the radar building) - big chunk of Catanduanes looks like this
AFTER GONI
Aerial over the radar

IMO the tree damage from Goni are among some of the most intense I've ever seen right up there with Haiyan and Dorian. The whole place looks like it was hit by an thermonuclear bomb

Re: Tree Damage in Intense Landfalling Hurricanes of the Past
Preliminary images out of Providencia (Colombian island off the coast of Nicaragua) after Iota show widespread snapping/shredding/denuding of forest that appears consistent with a Category 5 impact. How strong exactly is for post-analysis to determine.

That looks like Cat 5 damage to me. Could some of that have been from Eta? Or was Eta too far north?

I am in no way a professional. Take what I say with a grain of salt as I could be totally wrong. Please refer to the NHC, NWS, or SPC for official information.

They had relatively minor impacts from Eta, whereas they got the south eyewall (or close to it) from Iota.

Thanks. That is some of the more intense damage I've seen from a Cat 4. Especially from the Southern eyewall.

Aerial footage out of Providencia showing widespread heavy structural damage and shredded/defoliated forest consistent with a 130kt+ thrashing.
