The sound of the tree falling was loud enough to wake Ms Searle’s husband in their house more than 100 metres further up the road but she slept through the din. “It could have been a lot more damage,” Ms Judd said from her suddenly brightly-lit living room and while the storm had turned her garden upside down she was relaxed about its impact.She was speaking to a soundtrack of chainsaws with team of tree doctors performing emergency surgery in the garden.
