Weather Wild Tree Falling

Trees can be seen as a good place to shelter in a storm but the opposite is true. Branches act like falling weapons. The swaying of the tree can lead it to topside and fall into something.

It is better to find something solid - concrete building, cave, base of mountain, etc.
