In the Netherlands, the trees were leaned against the houses to prevent them from falling down during the storm.

PS: Because I was asked a lot: No, they didn't really do that on purpose, but I was making a little fun about it because it looks as if they did ...

@robert I don't see any evidence it was deliberate in the nos article?

"Omgevallen bomen op verschillende plekken

Op verschillende plekken leiden omgevallen bomen tot overlast. Onder meer in Amsterdam is een bovenleiding beschadigd geraakt."

@eoghanmurray Sorry about the confusion, I was just making a little fun.
@robert oh!
I take it you never imagined someone would miss the joke 🤦‍♂️
I guess I can only say that a /s sarcasm marker might have saved me.
@eoghanmurray Yeah, sorry about it. It was spontaneous … when I saw the photo, it looked to me like someone had put the trees like that on purpose.
