Wild Storm Snaps Centuries Old Tree

Occurred on August 19, 2020 / Cork, Ireland

Info from Licensor: "The video was taken while storm Ellen was raging and there was red wind warning issued for the whole county Cork. I noticed that the wind was getting stronger and bending the trees so I went out on the balcony to take a video of it.
As I started recording my girlfriend came out too and as I turned my head around and stopped recording. Afterwards, I was not aware of what happened until she told me that the big tree is gone and I probably recorded it. We were both amazed after checking the video as we figured out that I actually managed to capture the moment when 175 years old tree that survived all hurricanes and storms in past years fell down under hits of wind up to 143 km/h fast. The tree broke and fell on the highway but as the roots didn't get pulled out the smaller one growing next to it was completely undamaged."
