Another random London (well, UK) tree fact:
“A powerful storm ravaged many parts of the UK in the middle of October 1987.
With winds gusting at up to 100mph, there was massive devastation across the country and 18 people were killed. About 15 million trees were blown down. Many fell on to roads and railways, causing major transport delays. Others took down electricity and telephone lines, leaving thousands of homes without power for more than 24 hours.”
