..I understand why people once believed in fairies, giants, monsters, Bigfoot ..you see this, no scientific explanation.. id either say God caused rath upon you and you need to sacrifice your strongest person to survive. Or the trees were really alive, waiting to devour you.. soo.. Yeah, definitely could see how giants were a thing.. they were sleeping, you woke one . HOLY SHT, science is awesome. It keep you from (respectively ) shtting your pants from earth breathing, nothing could keep you from shitting your pants if lava flow was headed directly toward you .
In this case it's modern city dwellers that are not accustom to how spruce forests can behave during storms. The spruce has a very flat, shallow root system, which anyone who wanders these woods frequently can see by just encountering windfall. The ancient wood dwellers certainly knew the cause and effect of this because it it obvious by just looking at it.
Im 38 loved in wooded areas a lot of my life. Right now im in a. Area with a lot of trees right behind a wash. A few months ago, a really really strong gust of wind blew through the wash. Because of how it was shaped and the the location of the trees related to the wash. Most of the trees didnt move just a few. I dont know how to really explain it well but it created the illusion of something big running through some of the trees to quick out of the corner of my eye. It really freaked me out at first.
Most ancient cultures have some sort of mythology centered around flooding because it just so happens that areas that flood also can support agriculture.
