We call that a widow-maker. Tornado crashes tree limb onto DC couple s car. Carl Willis
Jim Bowmer moved to Northeast DC from Idaho.
One look at the large snapped branch suspended over his street and a term comes to mind. We call that a widow-maker where I m from, he said.
The branch loomed outside of his front door and over Gale Street where a Metropolitan Police officer blocked traffic from driving under the hazard.
The night before, Bowmer and his wife were in a car directly under that limb when a tornado came through and sent another tree limb crashing down onto their car.

Pedestrian crossings in east London are being reprogrammed to stay on the “green man” signal until approaching traffic is detected.
In a move to prioritise people walking over driving, 18 crossings in the capital will have the pioneering “green person authority” technology.
Two crossings by Devons Road DLR station in Bow, Tower Hamlets and one in Prince Regent Lane by Alnwick Road in Custom House, Newham are among seven locations that have already been upgraded.
Crossings in London Road by James Street in Barking and Gale Street by Becontree Station in Dagenham will follow by the end of June, along with nine other locations across London.
