Saw this on faceache. Thought I'd share it.

Sorry I have attempted few times to embed just the video but it's a no go. Sorry to those without faceache.

So lucky no one was hurt!!

We drove up right after (coming back from Woods Point) and had to turn around. Stayed at the Black Spur Inn for a while and chatted to some people who were there right when the trees fell - they were pretty shaken up but thankfully all fine

Word from the SES was it would take 3+ hrs to clear the rd, and the back way through Warburton was closed too,

It was already 4pm by this stage so we spent a nice night in Marysville

I like his advice , that ppl all over the world should be aware of trees , not just us here in Australia.
I think theres something for all of us in there somewhere lol
