Maples trees were falling all across South Bayview this afternoon as torrential rain and high winds ripped through the neighborhood. Fire officials told residents that the heavily treed Davisville Village and Leaside areas were hardest hit. On Davisville Ave near Forman Ave a large tree which was apparently rotten at the centre, crashed down down wrecking a car and damaging three houses. Upper left, the overall view. Upper right, a man holding what certainly looks to be rotten wood. Lower left, the owner of the trashed car prepares to take some pictures. Lower right, the amazing scene at the corner of Donegall and Fleming Crescent. We’re looking east in this shot and traffic is cut off to the north, south and east. Cars which ventured into Fleming had to make a U turn to get out. There are reported closures caused by fallen trees all through Leaside. There was a tree fall on Moore Avenue beside the cemetery that narrowed the street to one lane but it seemed to be quickly cleared away.
