wind·throw: (noun) the uprooting and overthrowing of trees by the wind
Pronunciation: \ˈwin(d)-ˌthrō\
In forestry, windthrow refers to trees uprooted or overthrown by wind. By extension, sometimes used to refer to associated things, such as the ground-hole left by the windthrown tree. Breakage of the tree bole instead of uprooting is sometimes called windsnap. -- Reference.com, Wikipedia.com, etc.
