Massachusetts residents say they are under siege from this year’s large crop of acorns as the hard nuts have been falling from trees like rain.
Greg Roberson and Neil McIsaac of Brookline, Mass., said they routinely encounter the nuts as they fall from area oak trees, creating safety hazards while in the air and once on the ground, The Boston Globe reported Saturday.
“Every time I hear one, I think it’s a kid throwing a rock at me,” Roberson said. “They’re falling everywhere.”
“I’ve nearly broken my neck several times,” McIsaac offered. “There are tons of them.”
See, there are some good things about global warming!
