I was still out of town for this call...but surely not a call any of us would want to be on

A mother and her daughter were killed and there were several other children in the car coming home from swim practice.

Looks pretty bad, to be honest probably one of those scenes if there is no one viable best to leave it alone as it is a crime scene, and hope to find the cause of such an event later on.

There were at least 4 other people in the van who were viable though...

Crime? What are they going to do? Arrest Mother Nature?

A rogue maple tree was booked into the local jail on at least two counts of murder. A sheriff's department spokesperson was quoted as saying that additional charges of 'leafing the scene' could be filed as early as next week

Judging by the size and the bark, I'd say it's an Oak. Good ladder making material. We still have oak ladders on the wagon.. Anyhoo.

So instead of just looking at pictures I suppose I should have read the link, which apparently says it is a "natural disaster" type of event, but I don't think that trees just commonly fall over for no reason, to me it is a crime scene, keep in mind I live in a place there's barely any tree's and they certainly don't just fall over ...
