The Dyerville Giant was a massive sequoia the fell in 1991 in Humboldt Redwood State Park. At the time it was considered one of the tallest trees in the world measuring 362 ft. tall (larger than The Statue of Liberty). It was 17 ft. wide and 57 ft. in circumference. When it fell, the ground beneath it moved the earth so much that it registered on a nearby seismograph. The sound was so loud that those who heard it said it sounded like a train had crashed. Today in the park you can walk the entire length and marvel at its massive root structure. The tree was estimated to be between 1600 and 2000 years old.

I found this on Facebook at the following site and found it very interesting so I re-posted it.
