Might be off by a few orders of magnitude there. Even 10,000 trees would represent 0.006% of the trees in my state. (Hint: it's the smallest one.)
There are estimates that 13-25% of tree growth in our state has died over the last decade. That's closer to 50 million.

Even a moderately strong storm (only two warning sirens) took down thousands if not tens of thousands of living trees near me.
Weirdly, dead trees can survive better because without leaves they don’t catch as much wind.
The whole east half of the continental US is one large storm away from thousands of fallen dead trees.
