Summary
On 25 November in Exeter, a 21 year old woman has died
and two men were injured when an oak tree fell on them. The highest severe
weather and flood warnings were reported for Cornwall by the Environment Agency
(EA). Inspector Andrea Webber of Devon and Cornwall Police reported that the
woman was sheltering in a small tent against a wall which the tree took with it
when it fell on her. Webber said that officers were almost immediately on site
but the woman’s injuries were fatal. She was taken to the hospital where she
later died. Special centres were opened but people returned home as the weather
calmed down but people should still be cautious.
My opinion
I think weather warnings are there to warn people to take
notice and be careful, but many people can be stubborn. If a warning for severe
flooding is predicted people should move to higher grounds or go to a centre.
There is nothing this woman could do to prevent the tree from falling but she could
rather have gone to a centre where she could have a proper roof above her head
and have a warm bed but instead she lived in a tent. If people are stubbornly
to refuse the warning then the problem lies in their own hands.
