An M-1 Abrams could easily knock most trees. A Minuteman ICBM about the size of most steeples.

But then War of the Worlds was a product of the time, such things existed only in the Imagination. Today such a invasion is hard to fathom with out it destroying the planet. Oberon have you ever read Footfall? As a War of the Worlds fan I think you would like it, its probably the best most realistic Alien Invasion story ever written.
It's been on the list of novels that I've had a mind to read but I haven't gotten around to yet...with Christmas coming up, if the Library doesn't have it then...

I did rather enjoy the 'Tosev timeline' series of Harry Turtledove, that's an interesting slant on the traditional alien invasion.
