Fortunately, no-one was passing underneath at the time.

The movement of the small tree on the right and the dust indicates a
strong wind blowing right to left. It seems to me that there were no
restraining straps between the wall and the roof timbers.


I was quite impressed by the strength of the car roof. Im sure in
years/decades gone by, it would have caved it in.
