We call them weeping willow, but they're also called Babylon willow. They're native to northern China. The scientific name for them is salix babylonica
Yeshh they are my favorite thing on the planet coming in 1st place along with general water/diving/swimming!! I am really kind of water obsessed and have an affinity for
I thought the same thing: "We get this kind of weather all of the time, here in the U.S." :-) P.S. We still love you, Sean, for being genuine/honest!! Keep up the great work of putting out interesting videos for us to watch!
Weeping willow trees! We have them all over the US. Also weeping birch trees, they have white bark. Great video Shaun! Can't wait to see your new digs! Best wishes and love to you and Teka 💕🏴🍻
I'm in Oregon and my mom's neighbor has a huge weeping willow! When they get big and old the tendrils can hit the ground and for a little kid it created a real life secret garden!
It boggles my mind when someone says 25 celsius (77 Fahrenheit) is hot. In Alabama, we are regularly 96+ everyday during the summer. It takes me an hour to mow our yard and I'll do it in 85+ heat after the sun starts to go down. I would love it if we averaged 77 degrees. lol
I lived in Idaho over one winter. It got down to -40° several times. As Spring arrived I noticed people walking around in shorts and tank tops. Great weather! The bank Time & Temp sign read 32°F (0°C).
Stevarooni I live in Wyoming and it’s pretty funny how used to the cold you get. I once took my coat off because it was “warm.” It was 12 F. And I grew up in Tennessee. I just got used to the mountain cold. The lack of humidity makes the cold seem warmer, and the heat seem cooler.
googled it...Why are there cows in the centre of Cambridge? Cows have been grazing on the common land since the 12th Century. These days they are allowed to graze on the land under the City of Cambridge Act 1985, which gives the council the power to regulate grazing, make associated byelaws, and deal with trespassing livestock.Sep 28, 2017 The cows on Midsummer Common have a Twitter account ...

Shaun, that's just a good old Texas thunder and hail storm in March. It definitely looked like tornado weather. Glad that you and Teka are unscathed. Cows are very docile creatures; a lawn mower at one end and fertilizer spreader at the other end. Children would be safe around them unless they were to scare the cattle or threatened the calves. Blessings to you and Teka from the Texas Hill Country. 🇺🇲🏴
During the last video, when you were trapped in the barn, I thought to myself "I wonder where his wife is through all this?" It figures she'd be the smart one and GTFO before things got bad. They always are. That's why they live longer than us!
For context, Shaun, you might see what the MacDonalds -- McKeehan/McIan/Clann Iain Abrach of Glencoe were their relations -- did to the Campbells at the "Sabhal nan Cnamh" or Barn of Bones.

With regards to one of the gifts you received. There's an old story about a park ranger who was guiding people through a forest tour, and one of the tourists asked a question about some fecal matter on the ground. The ranger started talking about how you could identify the animals in the area by the droppings they left behind. Rabbit droppings were small and round. Deer droppings were longer and skinnier, and bear droppings have bells in them.
Wahoo Shaun! Yup thst is a good old Kansas thunderstorm and also perfect weather for Tornados!! Glad you pulled over until it passed. Shaun you share your life with us and I just love it!! So much fun. Glad you car didn't sustain any hail damage. The box opening was fun too. People sure send you a variety of fun stuff! I hadn't seen moon pies for years. Hope you enjoy. Till next time, thank you so much. From Cynthia in California ❤🏴
Shaun Don’t worry, hail that little would be more irritating than damage causing to vehicles. I had a hail storm go through eastern Oregon and it did damage, I had dents in the hood of my car until I sold it! After the storm was over, my friend and I gathered the hail stones up and made cocktails with them! Vodka Sunrise on ice! It was a hoot!
One of the scariest moments in my life was driving from Houston to San Antonio. It was completely dry when it suddenly started to pour. Within minutes the water rose to the point that the water was up to the bottom of my trucks door. It's completely flat with no high ground not even an overpass. There was no where to go and water was rising fast. I could feel the water starting to push my truck sideways. I had no idea what to do and suddenly just as fast as it started the rain stopped. All this happened in a span of ten minutes or so and was terrifying. Texas floods are not to be messed with! Congrats on making it on to The BBC!
We're sitting under a tornado warning here in Galveston County and going yep, that's a good old midwest hail storm. Glad you pulled over until it passed. They'll take out windshields sometimes. Whoo you're more famous. Now, all of the UK has seen your videos.
Congratulations on your stint on TV. That weather you witnessed is called a micro burst where suddenly severe weather with high winds, rain, hail, and sometimes snow (in upper elevations) may suddenly occur for a short period of time and then just as suddenly disappear. It has to do with a sudden down draft of cooler air hitting a warmer area which has a lot of moisture in cloud cover. I am originally from Virginia and have seen this happen quite often. It can take down trees, rip off roofs, and overturn large trucks, and be quite dangerous; and sometimes a microburst can lead to the development of a tornado. When I was a teenager, a microburst hit my grandmother's hometown in Princeton, North Carolina, where I stood on the veranda and watched the hail come down in the middle of summer and the winds rip off the neighbor's roof. So glad you and your wife were safe. If you had been walking down the road when it hit, you could have been seriously injured by the hail and blowing debris. Loved the gorgeous shots around Cambridge. The canals and parks are stunning.
We had a bad windstorm in the Rockies not long ago with 100 mph winds that blew a bunch of semis over. It wasn’t a microburst though, it lasted for a while. It wasn’t as bad where I was but it blew a ton of branches down from my trees which were already damaged from the 10 INCHES of SNOW earlier this month 😳
Those gorgeous trees in the park are called weeping willow trees. They are not tropical, but they are usually planted in areas where there are good sized water sources. If you mistakenly plant them near water lines, the roots will invade the pipes in search of water and make a big mess. They are relatively hardy trees and can survive winter cold and snow. When I was growing up we had two weeping willows at the back of our backyard field. The hanging branches at Cambridge were trimmed at the bottom probably to allow for a lawn mower to get easily underneath the trees. The trees in our yard would hang down to the ground. As a child I would sit under one of the trees and read and be totally enclosed by the leafy branches. I loved my private hiding place.
The cows might be there to help with keeping the grass trimmed. Trees are weeping willows. Always found near creeks and rivers. And what a fantastic opportunity to be on TV!!!!
The trees are Weeping Willows...my favorite! Lots of them here on the east coast of the US, usually in wet areas near rivers & streams. Love your videos btw. Cheers! 😁
About the cows in Cambridge City Centre: That sight makes me think about how in Houston, Texas, there are deer in the fenced in green area around the NASA complex.
Wow, we get storms like that here in Idaho. When we lived in Texas we used to get those as well, golf ball sized hail, some times even bigger. Congrats on being on the BBC Morning show!! I am happy for you and Tekka buying your first place! Congrats all the way around!
Here in Alberta Canada, hail was an nearly weekly event. I’ve never been so happy to have a garage in my life. Some of the stones were the size of golf and baseballs. It was insane. Glad your car was ok.
@@shaunvlog- Hi, Shaun! Cindy from Magnolia, TX here. Yes, gullywasher and frog-strangler were common when I was growing up here in TX especially amongst folks who lived out in the country. Mostly only old folks, like myself, 😉, are the only ones you'd hear say it now. A gully is like a ditch or ravine that forms from erosion.
@@shaunvlog you will see when you visit West Virginia the whole state is in the Appalachian mountains and there are bear's the people are nice you will like.
Haha I was just thinking that looks like an afternoon Florida summer storm. Always happens during rush hour. When I see the dark clouds rolling in I get excited because I know it's time to go home soon.
That was another great video, Shaun. Congratulations on the National news. That hail storm was crazy! I'm glad you & your wife got through that storm safely! The park areas nearby Cambridge were so beautiful! And it is always fun to see you open packages. Looking forward to hearing the latest news from you in the next video!! 👍
Thank you for your videos. I've been enjoying them so much, especially the ones in which you've returned to the roots of your original dream for these. There's something about the beauty, adventure and humor that makes me smile the whole time I'm watching them. Again, thank you.
I have been in that kind of rain in Florida lots of times . One time in Florida the car wipers could not keep up with how much rain was coming down on the highway and we had to get in the hard shoulder & wait till it passed. Amazing that you got asked to be on the TV. Keep up the fantastic work 👍🏻
Awww a good ole "Duck Drowner" like we get in the Midwestern States, USA. And the tornadoes that spawn from these is stressful. Glad you survived it with minimal damage to your brain. Makes you a bit bonkers at times, don't it?!
Although I am a California native, I was living in North Carolina when my daughter and I were caught fishing in a storm like that and I also thought it was tornado weather. As trees were getting blown over, I braced my daughter against a cement pillar. So, people experience this kind of weather from NC, through the Md West, to the South West, to California, and now the UK, too. But, man-made excellerated climate change was invented by pot-smoking Berkley professors to build public education into the financial powerhouses that they are today (some one actually explained the American phenomena of denying demonstrable science by telling me the above gem).
That is awesome! Definitely looks like crazy Nashville weather too! Lol! Very cool that guy from Smyrna, TN sent you some proper Nashville treats looks like as those are all very native to here to TN (Tennessee). I don't live far from Smyrna (pronounced Smerna) either lol Thanks for the great vid! Always look forward to more with your stuff 😁
I used to live in Tennessee, and that box from the gentleman in TN was so very Tennessee like. I miss having Moon Pies. I don't think I have seen them here in Wisconsin. Thanks for the videos. I enjoy hearing and seeing what you have to share.
That's a side of Cambridge I hadn't seen in TV shows that I've watched. Very pretty! Good sound capture of the cows munching on the grass, too! 😁 Thanks for sharing. 😊
Adventure Everything! Storms like that are fairly common, even without an accompanying tornado, in the midwest and southeast U.S. Invigorating!! How amazing you were featured on the BBC. Is this the new normal for the South of England? I wonder. Those seem to be Weeping Willows. Great climbing trees when you're a kid. No one can see you! I sprained an ankle or two jumping from our neighborhood Willows! The candies you received also appear to be traditional old fashioned favorites over here. What a cool thing that he gathered those all up for you! Moon Pies also come in yellow - banana flavor - that is just sickening - but we loved them! Great vid! Thank you!
Shaun, WOW! What a show! I enjoyed it all. Looked like those trees in Cambridge might have been weeping willows. And all those candies from Smyrna, Georgia (smear-na)--yum! I look forward to your taste testing video. Finally, what a fantastic thing of being chosen to appear on the BBC morning show! Keep smiling, my friend! Maryanne from Las Vegas.
Love a good thunderstorm! Love to stand outside and watch the clouds. Love listening to it thunder. Very glad you made it safely out of the storm. Find it weird that you've never experienced a good thunderstorm before. Now you're even more famous 😉 Great video Shaun. Blessings always my friend. 🌷💕🙏🙃
Weeping willow trees. Heard an old superstion about these. "If the person that plants the tree,allows the tendrils to touch the ground, that person dies. Spooky😱
I love seeing the cows in the park. That's fabulous. The closest city people normally get to cows is seeing them in television and film productions. "All Creatures Great & Small" springs to mind. A lot of city children, unless they visit rural areas, might not ever experience cows.
You're lucky that there was no damage to your car! Last year or the year before we (in Chicago) had a hail storm. The next day when I went walking I noticed that all the car's hoods and roofs were dimpled from hail damage.
Hot and Stormy! Lol. You need to come spend a Summer/early fall in Florida. Lmao..... totally normal. It’s actually not too bad! You can still see the cars around you. Lol
You were lucky the hailstones stayed that small. When they get to baseball size, they break car windows and dent in the roof! (Need I say that this is from America)
Shaun the celebrity 👏🏾 Congratulations on your interview 🙌🏾 This is going to give you more exposure and increase your number of subscribers. For a moment there in the beginning I thought you were filming during a Texas storm😆 Keep the good work 👍🏾
Thanks for taking me with you on your trips. Loved the Mary Queen of Scots hill(thought she died in Scotland), loved going to Cambridge with the cows and those trees are weeping willows. I have been caught in storms like that many times in western Pennsylvania. Thanks for your videos.
Here in Argentina we have had some of those hailstorms with extreme wind a couple of times a year specially during summer ( we do not have tornados here)... At the moment we are in a drought season that is not normal (that brings wildfires and affects the crops) An advice for the next storm, DO NOT PARK under or near trees or power lines... those can be caught by lightning. That crazy storm is cause by ¨Climate Change¨... The change in weather all over the world is our own making (cutting trees, changing rivers paths, sowing the same thing over and over, building cities where there was wilderness before, the excessive use of carbon and fuel). About your botanical question (11.44) ... I think those trees are called ¨weeping willow¨ IF that is what those are.. they are (I think) native to China.
Gotta tell you, though, there was ONE TIME when the weather scared me!! I was in Logan, Utah (41° 44′ 16″ N, 111° 49′ 51″ W) and a storm -- I'm talking BLACK CLOUDS -- rolled over the western side of Cache Valley and we had rain, hail, thunder... I have raced tornadoes, rode out a hurricane sitting in a caravan on the beach, but they didn't scare me. That storm in Logan scared me shitless!!
@@deborahdanhauer8525 Probably. I mean the sun was setting behind the mountains to the west of the valley and I lived about 1/3 of the up the side of the mountains that made the eastern part. The clouds were so thick and heavy, they were black, and when I say they 'rolled over the mountains to the west', that's what they did. They churned as they came over the top of the valley wall and rolled down into the valley. It was the most intense rain, lightning, thunder, hail, and wind I have ever experienced. Plus it was dark, black as midnight, even though there should have been 45 minutes or so of residual sunlight left in the day.
@@Werewindle Dang! That sounds awful. I live in the Southeast and have been through a few tornadoes. That storm you were in sounds as bad. Was anyone hurt?
@@deborahdanhauer8525 Not that I know of, but we'd lose a couple of joggers/hikers every late spring. They'd go up into the lower mountains and get snowed to death without warning. The geographical co-ordinates are in my original comment -- look the place up on Google Earth (Google Earth Pro is fee now, I believe, and it's a fun tool to use to visit the entire world from your desk chair!!).
@@Werewindle Right! I know you have to be careful of the weather in the mountains. I've been way too cold hiking/camping in the Rockies years ago. I can't get Google Earth to work on my phone. If I get a chance, next time I'm on the computer I will look it up.
Congratulations on the television appearance. So excited for you. The storm you experienced is a common spring/summer storm for us Kansans. What is scary is when you are sitting in your vehicle and the hail just keeps getting bigger and bigger until your windshield finally cracks! You are right in that that type of weather is common with tornados. Thankfully you didn't have one of those. The trees you asked about are weeping willows. They are common in Kansas around ponds and lakes as they require lots of water. They are weak though and their branches tend to break during high winds. We have lost a couple of them around our pond. Look forward to hearing your good news. Many blessings to you and Tekka.
thats scary getting stuck in the car. in '14 i just got back to work's lot when a storm hit. hail the size of eggs blew out 50+ vehicle windows. got almost the whole thing on vid
Congrats on your breakfast show appearance! Those trees are Weeping Willows we have them all over the USA, They are beautiful but have shallow root systems and come down pretty easy in a heavy wind!
You beat me to the punch when you said these are storms you see in America....so true. Happens in the spring mostly. When hot air meets a cold front pushing in you can get weather like this.
Weeping Willows are beautiful but they need to be planted away from underground pipes as their roots are water seekers and they will mess stuff up. Best planted in boggy or naturally wet ground.
As probably 600 Americans have already mentioned, they are weeping willows. As a child I climbed and lived in the branches of our Willow tree all summer. Happy times!
I hope being on national tv boosts your subscribers! That was quite a storm you sat through. We get those here in Iowa too. Take care n stay safe. Mary
Congratulations on making the Morning Show! Yeah, hail storms are pretty scary. Don’t see those in So California. I love willow trees. My favorite tree.
Cows are generally very sweet animals. Their personality are like puppy dogs. They love to play and run. Check out the Barn Sanctuary TH-cam Channel. It's a farm about an hour from me in Michigan who rescue farm animals. There's a video of Cows playing with a ball. It makes you never want to eat beef again once you witness how these sweet creatures have so much love and life.
The trees are weeping willows. We have them in the states. I don’t think they’re tropical. Where I live the temperature can drop below zero Fahrenheit and they do just fine.
Shaun weeping willow trees have very shallow roots and go over in a stiff breeze very easily. I don’t think they’d withstand your strong winds and weather in Scotland. Loved the first person hail storm vid. Good on ya’ for being interviewed on the morning show. Hello from BJ, Angie, John, Kevin, Sherryl and I. Hug Teka from us. 💋💋😷

Haha I was just thinking that looks like an afternoon Florida summer storm. Always happens during rush hour. When I see the dark clouds rolling in I get excited because I know it's time to go home soon.
Weeping willow trees 🥰We have those in the Midwest out in Illinois and Wisconsin in the US
Looks like a thunderstorm in Nebraska. Normal stuff.
My guess Shaun is cheap way to keep the grass cut! I know a place that uses goats for that purpose❤️
Brilliant video mate! That hail was something special, Cambridge looks lovely! Thanks for your support lately as well man! Means a lot
Look like Weeping Willow trees, we have a lot of them in Michigan, frequently around water 🌳
Cows, the inexpensive answer to grass management. No noise, no cost of petrol or smell. Very green.
Congrats on the exposure on the BBC!
Except the ausfahrt of methane.
@@johnbowers6258 True, but not as invasive as petrol. My grand-dad had eight head of dairy cows and never noticed a smelll in the pasture.
I am from the Hudson Valley! Lovely, historical area full of beautiful countryside. A must see!
Just north of NYC.
Boy does "Man stuck in Barn and Wife in Car" That explains marriage.
Hahahah só true 🤣
HA!
That was another great video, Shaun. Congratulations on the National news. That hail storm was crazy! I'm glad you & your wife got through that storm safely! The park areas nearby Cambridge were so beautiful! And it is always fun to see you open packages. Looking forward to hearing the latest news from you in the next video!! 👍
Man, that was intense. I'm glad you two are safe.
Thank you for your videos. I've been enjoying them so much, especially the ones in which you've returned to the roots of your original dream for these. There's something about the beauty, adventure and humor that makes me smile the whole time I'm watching them. Again, thank you.
I have been in that kind of rain in Florida lots of times . One time in Florida the car wipers could not keep up with how much rain was coming down on the highway and we had to get in the hard shoulder & wait till it passed. Amazing that you got asked to be on the TV. Keep up the fantastic work 👍🏻
I had the same thing happen to me in Orlando. The rain was a solid wall of water. Scary.
RainX is a must.
Dale Stadler is amazing to see but Scary at the same time.
Awww a good ole "Duck Drowner" like we get in the Midwestern States, USA. And the tornadoes that spawn from these is stressful. Glad you survived it with minimal damage to your brain. Makes you a bit bonkers at times, don't it?!
Although I am a California native, I was living in North Carolina when my daughter and I were caught fishing in a storm like that and I also thought it was tornado weather. As trees were getting blown over, I braced my daughter against a cement pillar.
So, people experience this kind of weather from NC, through the Md West, to the South West, to California, and now the UK, too. But, man-made excellerated climate change was invented by pot-smoking Berkley professors to build public education into the financial powerhouses that they are today (some one actually explained the American phenomena of denying demonstrable science by telling me the above gem).
AKA a "toad strangler", too! 🐸 😂
That is awesome! Definitely looks like crazy Nashville weather too! Lol!
Very cool that guy from Smyrna, TN sent you some proper Nashville treats looks like as those are all very native to here to TN (Tennessee).
I don't live far from Smyrna (pronounced Smerna) either lol
Thanks for the great vid! Always look forward to more with your stuff 😁
Hi there! I'm in Nashville too😊
It was a good thing you were parked when that weather hit. Wow!
I used to live in Tennessee, and that box from the gentleman in TN was so very Tennessee like. I miss having Moon Pies. I don't think I have seen them here in Wisconsin. Thanks for the videos. I enjoy hearing and seeing what you have to share.
So that's where Tucson's monsoons went this year.
I'm originally from Tucson (but living in North Dakota now) and my family was saying that it was hot this year with little to no monsoon :(
That's a side of Cambridge I hadn't seen in TV shows that I've watched. Very pretty! Good sound capture of the cows munching on the grass, too! 😁
Thanks for sharing. 😊
Adventure Everything! Storms like that are fairly common, even without an accompanying tornado, in the midwest and southeast U.S. Invigorating!! How amazing you were featured on the BBC. Is this the new normal for the South of England? I wonder.
Those seem to be Weeping Willows. Great climbing trees when you're a kid. No one can see you! I sprained an ankle or two jumping from our neighborhood Willows!
The candies you received also appear to be traditional old fashioned favorites over here. What a cool thing that he gathered those all up for you! Moon Pies also come in yellow - banana flavor - that is just sickening - but we loved them!
Great vid! Thank you!
"There's no such thing as bad weather, only inappropriate clothing"...clearly you had inappropriate clothes on ^^
Haha love it
Holly Craft! ..isn’t this a German saying?
What is approppriate clothing for a hail storm? I doubt most people have armor with them to protect them from hail.
Robert Ohm you have to put on the armor of god...at least that’s what the holy bible says...somewhere
@@ERNIE555 The armor of God is some good stuff, but if you read the Bible, even God suggests physical armor has it's uses.
Wow to the hail! Good Lord! Loved seeing Cambridge, so thank you for braving the weather :) Those trees look to be weeping willows?
Dude, you got lucky.
I'm very impressed cambridge was so calm after such a gnarly storm.
WEEPING WILLOWS ARE ONE ONE MY FAVORITE TREES, THEY ARE GORGEOUS. i HAVE A WEEPING CHERRY TREE THAT HAS BEAUTIFUL PINK BLOSSOMS IN THE SPRING.
Shaun, WOW! What a show! I enjoyed it all. Looked like those trees in Cambridge might have been weeping willows. And all those candies from Smyrna, Georgia (smear-na)--yum! I look forward to your taste testing video. Finally, what a fantastic thing of being chosen to appear on the BBC morning show! Keep smiling, my friend! Maryanne from Las Vegas.
The hailstorm you experienced is called summer in America!
Love a good thunderstorm! Love to stand outside and watch the clouds. Love listening to it thunder. Very glad you made it safely out of the storm. Find it weird that you've never experienced a good thunderstorm before. Now you're even more famous 😉 Great video Shaun. Blessings always my friend. 🌷💕🙏🙃
Weeping willow trees. Heard an old superstion about these. "If the person that plants the tree,allows the tendrils to touch the ground, that person dies. Spooky😱
I love seeing the cows in the park. That's fabulous. The closest city people normally get to cows is seeing them in television and film productions. "All Creatures Great & Small" springs to mind. A lot of city children, unless they visit rural areas, might not ever experience cows.
You're lucky that there was no damage to your car! Last year or the year before we (in Chicago) had a hail storm. The next day when I went walking I noticed that all the car's hoods and roofs were dimpled from hail damage.
Try one of the Moon Pies after you hest them up like 50 seconds in the microwave. Enjoy a couple of secons in heaven !!
That is amazing, cows in the city centre 🤪 how cool to walk through them...love it. Breakfast show, exciting! Thanks 👍🇦🇺
I'm from Memphis TN. Our park,in the middle of the city called "Shelby Farms" is one of the largest in the US. And we have Bison roaming around.
Timothy McInvale Overton Park, the zoo, Audubon Park, and the Botanic Garden are nice to explore, too.
Man up! In North Carolina, we call that relief from the humidity.
He was saying it was still hot which I figured he meant humid. plus if your not used to something it is obviously strange thus causing one concern.
@@hopeformeyettrumbull8858 I know. I was just giving him a hard time.
Congrats on the tele appearance Shaun!!
Hot and Stormy! Lol. You need to come spend a Summer/early fall in Florida. Lmao..... totally normal. It’s actually not too bad! You can still see the cars around you. Lol
You were lucky the hailstones stayed that small. When they get to baseball size, they break car windows and dent in the roof! (Need I say that this is from America)
Well that looks typical of Alberta, Canada in mid-July to mid-August!!
Shaun the celebrity 👏🏾
Congratulations on your interview 🙌🏾
This is going to give you more exposure and increase your number of subscribers.
For a moment there in the beginning I thought you were filming during a Texas storm😆
Keep the good work 👍🏾
Thanks for taking me with you on your trips. Loved the Mary Queen of Scots hill(thought she died in Scotland), loved going to Cambridge with the cows and those trees are weeping willows. I have been caught in storms like that many times in western Pennsylvania. Thanks for your videos.
Weeping Willows....gorgeous trees. Tree experts are called Arborists, i think.....thanks for posting this Shaun!!!
Here in Argentina we have had some of those hailstorms with extreme wind a couple of times a year specially during summer ( we do not have tornados here)... At the moment we are in a drought season that is not normal (that brings wildfires and affects the crops)
An advice for the next storm, DO NOT PARK under or near trees or power lines... those can be caught by lightning.
That crazy storm is cause by ¨Climate Change¨... The change in weather all over the world is our own making (cutting trees, changing rivers paths, sowing the same thing over and over, building cities where there was wilderness before, the excessive use of carbon and fuel).
About your botanical question (11.44) ... I think those trees are called ¨weeping willow¨ IF that is what those are.. they are (I think) native to China.
Tornadoes do occur in Argentina, in the pampas regions.
Gotta tell you, though, there was ONE TIME when the weather scared me!! I was in Logan, Utah (41° 44′ 16″ N, 111° 49′ 51″ W) and a storm -- I'm talking BLACK CLOUDS -- rolled over the western side of Cache Valley and we had rain, hail, thunder... I have raced tornadoes, rode out a hurricane sitting in a caravan on the beach, but they didn't scare me. That storm in Logan scared me shitless!!
What was it about that particular storm that made it so bad? Just intensity?
@@deborahdanhauer8525 Probably. I mean the sun was setting behind the mountains to the west of the valley and I lived about 1/3 of the up the side of the mountains that made the eastern part. The clouds were so thick and heavy, they were black, and when I say they 'rolled over the mountains to the west', that's what they did. They churned as they came over the top of the valley wall and rolled down into the valley. It was the most intense rain, lightning, thunder, hail, and wind I have ever experienced. Plus it was dark, black as midnight, even though there should have been 45 minutes or so of residual sunlight left in the day.
@@Werewindle Dang! That sounds awful. I live in the Southeast and have been through a few tornadoes. That storm you were in sounds as bad. Was anyone hurt?
@@deborahdanhauer8525 Not that I know of, but we'd lose a couple of joggers/hikers every late spring. They'd go up into the lower mountains and get snowed to death without warning. The geographical co-ordinates are in my original comment -- look the place up on Google Earth (Google Earth Pro is fee now, I believe, and it's a fun tool to use to visit the entire world from your desk chair!!).
@@Werewindle Right! I know you have to be careful of the weather in the mountains. I've been way too cold hiking/camping in the Rockies years ago. I can't get Google Earth to work on my phone. If I get a chance, next time I'm on the computer I will look it up.
Weeping willow trees are usually found around wet land areas. Seems appropriate that they would thrive in a canal town.
Congratulations on the television appearance. So excited for you. The storm you experienced is a common spring/summer storm for us Kansans. What is scary is when you are sitting in your vehicle and the hail just keeps getting bigger and bigger until your windshield finally cracks! You are right in that that type of weather is common with tornados. Thankfully you didn't have one of those. The trees you asked about are weeping willows. They are common in Kansas around ponds and lakes as they require lots of water. They are weak though and their branches tend to break during high winds. We have lost a couple of them around our pond. Look forward to hearing your good news. Many blessings to you and Tekka.
Shaun, here in Central Florida that's just another summer afternoon.
Hey, Pepper! I just subscribed to you.
Sarah Hardy welcome Sarah!
thats scary getting stuck in the car. in '14 i just got back to work's lot when a storm hit. hail the size of eggs blew out 50+ vehicle windows. got almost the whole thing on vid
Oh my gosh. That's the worst! I've had hail before but the biggest I've seen was about quarter sized
thats crazy
Oh cool!!! You guys have Weeping Willows too! Those are the trees you asked about.
Congrats on your breakfast show appearance! Those trees are Weeping Willows we have them all over the USA, They are beautiful but have shallow root systems and come down pretty easy in a heavy wind!
You beat me to the punch when you said these are storms you see in America....so true. Happens in the spring mostly. When hot air meets a cold front pushing in you can get weather like this.
In french, the trees are called , saule pleureur! Literally,crying willow.
Weeping Willows are beautiful but they need to be planted away from underground pipes as their roots are water seekers and they will mess stuff up. Best planted in boggy or naturally wet ground.
Hi Shaun! Those are Weeping Willow trees! Congratulations on being on the BBC morning show, what a wonderful experience!
As probably 600 Americans have already mentioned, they are weeping willows. As a child I climbed and lived in the branches of our Willow tree all summer. Happy times!
Uh, somewhat like our tornado weather. Years ago one of our cats got in the hail storm and had to comb them out. He was plastered, poor guy.
These hail storms if it’s bad will leave dents all over your car
I hope being on national tv boosts your subscribers! That was quite a storm you sat through. We get those here in Iowa too. Take care n stay safe. Mary
It's possible that Cambridge has an agricultural department. The U of A has cows and horses in the middle of the city too.
Congratulations on making the Morning Show! Yeah, hail storms are pretty scary. Don’t see those in So California. I love willow trees. My favorite tree.
The trees are Weeping Willows -- and the storm is pretty common in the midwestern US
Cows are generally very sweet animals.
Their personality are like puppy dogs.
They love to play and run.
Check out the Barn Sanctuary TH-cam Channel.
It's a farm about an hour from me in Michigan who rescue farm animals.
There's a video of Cows playing with a ball.
It makes you never want to eat beef again
once you witness how these sweet creatures have so much love and life.
The trees are weeping willows. We have them in the states. I don’t think they’re tropical. Where I live the temperature can drop below zero Fahrenheit and they do just fine.
I've been in several of those weather conditions over the years. Those hail storms are terrifying.
Weeping Willow trees! Your rain storm reminds me of home in Texas.
Shaun weeping willow trees have very shallow roots and go over in a stiff breeze very easily. I don’t think they’d withstand your strong winds and weather in Scotland. Loved the first person hail storm vid. Good on ya’ for being interviewed on the morning show. Hello from BJ, Angie, John, Kevin, Sherryl and I. Hug Teka from us. 💋💋😷
I live in the Hudson Valley!!! It is in New York and it's very beautiful.North of NYC. Come visit when you can ☺
11:40.... They're willow trees. They are native wherever there's a small body of water. Like a swamp, or Florida.
Kinda reminds me of a normal spring day in WV. Especially the humidity part.
I love that you show us famous things (like the bridge), even if you do not know the back story. It prompts us to make our own search online, so we can learn things! Thank you for sharing the beauty of your country with us.
In Florida, we just call that rain @2:50, but it would be warmer than 25C.
Drove a cab 17 years, drove in conditions much like this numerous times...
Well, visiting local sites on a weekend turned out to be a great idea! A TV appearance! Good on ya!
