Storm Gertrude Hits Merseyside
One man in Liverpool has spoken of his shock after his 50 foot tree came crashing into his home - as Storm Gertrude batters Merseyside.
It happened around 5pm on Prince Albert Road in Wavertree on Thursday evening.
The fir tree hit the roof and knocked over tiles - causing hundreds of pounds worth of damage.
Homeowner David Mills said:
"I heard a horrible crash, and the hautning sound of the needles scrapping across the tiles"
"I had to get outside just to see whats happening, I had no idea this would happen"
Yellow weather warnings have been issued for Merseyside as the bad weather passes the region.
