In the Roseau Botanical Gardens, this bus was unfortunately crushed by a nearby Baobab during Hurricane David. As well as this divergent branch, the main trunk of the Baobab is still growing (just out of shot to left). Thankfully the bus was unoccupied at the time!

The Hurricane was in 1979 (I think) - I suspect if it hasn't been moved yet it won't be any time soon. There's a big board next to it about the hurricane - they've made quite a tourist attraction of it!
