China News Network, March 3 According to the US "World Journal" report, the storm hit the US Bay Area on the 23st, and the top speed of the wind was 21 miles per hour. A tree fell on the sidewalk of 88th Street in Auckland's Chinatown in East Bay, crushing two cars parked on the side of the road. One of them was removed on the afternoon of the 7st, and the other is still waiting for the city to dispose of it. Mr. Yu, the owner of the car, said that the new car was worth 21,45000 yuan, and it didn't take long to fly into a disaster, "Fortunately, we were not in the car at that time, which can only be said to be a blessing in misfortune." ”
On the evening of the 21st, the reporter of the World Daily saw in Webster Street, 7th Street, that the fallen tree was almost uprooted by the storm, and the branches of the tree pressed the top of a Toyota van. The large branches and leaves are so lush that the top of the car is barely visible. The owner of the car, Mr. Yu, arrived just in time at this time. He said the car was worth 45000,5000 yuan, only drove 2,<> miles, and was almost new. My wife went shopping in Chinatown and parked her car on the side of the road for more than <> hours, but she didn't expect to "fly into trouble", and when she came back, she found that the car was hit by a tree.
Mr Yu said he called 21 on the 911st, but because there were no casualties and no damage to public facilities such as cables, the operator advised him to call the Oakland Public Works Authority's complaint number 311. However, no one answered after the call. On the morning of the 22nd, the tree had not yet moved. "The insurance company had to wait for the city to remove the tree before it could assess the damage and I could tow it for repair. The insurance will then negotiate the claim with the city. At present, Mr. Yu has rented a car to travel.
Ma Zuolin, head of the Chinatown Social Security Team of the Taishan Hometown Association, said that when a tree fell on the 21st, it actually hit two vehicles, one of which was relatively less damaged, and it was removed on the same day. But as of noon on the 22nd, Mr. Yu's car was still under the tree.
CAA Board Chairman Chuang Jinzhen said he contacted Mr. Yu and persuaded him not to wait by the tree. He called the Auckland Police Department, which contacted the Public Works Bureau, and received a reply that the current storm caused many trees to fall in Auckland, and the Public Works Bureau could only deal with it in turn.
The vice president of the board of directors of the Oakland Society's Association for the Promotion of Chinese Affairs (OCIC) said there had been a temporary system outage in the Auckland City Council's OAK311 phone system. Therefore, infrastructure emergencies can be reported to the Fire Department Dispatch Non-Emergency Line at (510) 444-3322. She has helped Mr. Yu report the accident on the 311 network. Mr. Yu himself is also required to call the above phone number to report. (Liu Jinjin)
