Those in Bedok woke up to a collapsed giant tree.

Huge tree uprooted in HDB Estate

A gigantic tree was spotted uprooted by passers-by near Block 118 along Bedok North Street 2 after the thunderstorm.

The tree, which was almost the length of the adjacent sheltered walkway, was entirely uprooted from the ground.

While it is uncertain what caused the tree to fall, one can tell that the tree has relatively shallow roots in contrast to the large tree crown which might explain why it cannot withstand the storm.

Here are some photos of the tree:

Hopefully, no one was hurt.
