It's cool footage but I don't think that much of an anomaly.

This always happens to same extent when a tree is blown over.

Same thing. Basically: top layers under the moss are a root mesh. Trees sway enough, the roots start to lift.

Generally a sign you should gtfo because when they go shit starts falling.

This is the best summary I could come up with:


David Nugent-Malone was taking his dog Jake for their usual walk through a local forest in Mugdock, Stirlingshire during Storm Babet when he saw the forest floor “weirdly” lifting up and down in the wind.

He captured the moment in a video that he posted on X, writing: “The woods were moving like the sea this morning.”

In a further post, where footage shows Jake running towards the ground as it lifts into the air and then standing on the forest floor as it rises, Nugent-Malone wrote: “The earth was breathing deeply this morning.”

The 38-year-old poet and short story writer, from Strathblane in Stirlingshire, told Sky News it was like “a funhouse attraction at a fairground” for the dog, adding: “He loved it.”

“It was some weird anomaly in the woods, because behind us and to the side everything was relatively calm in comparison.

“We weren’t sheltering from the storm, we were just walking the same old woody pathways.
