Experts believe the impact explosion of the 200-year-old tree may have been caused by aheat wave.
Portland, Oregon , USA, recorded temperatures above 35 degrees Celsius for an extended period of time, causing disruption in many areas.
Despite looking perfectly healthy before the heatwave, an oak tree believed to be about two centuries old has been planted in Eastmorland this week. It suddenly exploded in the neighborhood and caused trouble. Debris is flying.
One of its large branches is thought to beweighing about 13,600 kg (2,140st)and is attached to the power line.

Michael of the Arborist Jolliffe told local television station FOX 12 how the accumulation of gas inside the trees caused by heat caused a violent reaction, saying: Heat) causes thermal changes in the wood tissue inside the tree and tends to build up gas inside the tree. It can be explosive and sudden.
A "dynamic" response is more likely to occur in older, heavier trees, especially oak, as pressure increases more rapidly, he added. 70} Image:
Jolliffe also warned that the frenzy continues. Global warming will make these rare explosions more likely, he said. Completely safe.
This tree had to be removed after succumbing to heat, ending his 200-year survival in the northernmost region of the United States where he has survived many ice storms in one. hit the
Tree explosions are often caused by extreme cold, with many recorded during an unusually freezing winter in Texas earlier this year.
