But in their wake, they leave a trail of destruction – animals run over and tormented, their dog uncared for at home and fires started by their carelessness. They destroy both the countryside around them and any animal or creature that crosses their path... So Mother Nature strikes back as the creatures and weather take vengeance against the thoughtless, unpleasant pair.  Prepare for a severe weather warning this Long Weekend.
