fallen oak

We were at the Syrian arches of the Cleveland Cultural Gardens, at about 12.43pm, we heard crack. I looked up, and saw through other trees, an oak falling. In less than two seconds it crashed on to East boulevard.

 see the insect? tunneling in the center, and the many broken wood fibers

 the only thing damaged was a street light, and the snapped electrical line to it

The phone company man had just driven past, and then turned round.

People stopped and began taking phone pictures in the street, i said it it far more interesting at the stump.
