Regarding the trees down, its been very windy down here in Cornwall today. I've been driving a Mercedes Sprinter van most of day, and I dont recall experiencing getting blown about so much in a vehicle in my 8 years of driving!
Made driving double deckers interesting. Suddenly find yourself veering alarmingly into another lane (especially A30 between Camborne & Redruth on the dual carriageway open viaducts) - oops....
The wind finally took advantage of the metal fatigue on the Dennis SLF I was driving as it managed to sheer the offside wing mirror right off the body of the bus. I didn't half get a shock when a large yellow object flew past the windscreen when negotiating a roundabout, only to look up and find my bus falling to bits.
