Weeping Willow?

Was merrily browsing through the board this morning when I heard our neighbour's teenage son and daughter out in the garden. I opened the curtains, and - bloody hell! A huge branch of a willow tree 2 doors down (No. 104) has crashed down - over our garden and both our neighbour's gardens! :o It has wrecked the shed at No. 106, luckily there wasn't anything valuable in there. At No. 104 the shed is bearing a lot of weight but hasn't collapsed yet.
Mike, the guy at 104, has tried phoning tree surgeons and his insurance (Direct Line Insurance), but none of them are open at the weekend!! Surprising really - who are you supposed to contact in an emergency?
Just as well no-one was out there really! That tree is also very near the railway line - again, very luckily there's no trains today due to engineering works.
