That Was a Bit Unexpected?
Ever had a experience like this?
My Daughter, living in Surrey, goes out the front door, just like any other day!
She hears a strange noise & realises that a tree is falling, across the main road, in front of her house.
Spotting a car approaching she runs towards it waving for it to stop, which it does.
The tree continues to fall, pulls down the overhead power lines, and crashes down on the bonnet of the car - the Lady driver just gets out in time as her car is electrified & crushed.
My daughter's neighbour is trapped, in the house, with a massive tree across the front.
The authorities rush in and do their thing, including reopening the road & getting power restored.
It turns out that that the tree was in the garden of a house bought for development, by people resident in Canada!
They say the equivalent of "sod off - we can't help"
Turns out their paid garden man came by & expressed concerns about the tree a month ago!
Lots of lovely invoices are being prepared.
Anyone else had a saga like this?
