In Talbott v. State (1983), 35 Ill.Ct.Cl. 885, Claimant was denied recovery when a tree limb fell on his car while it was parked in the parking area of a state park. In Talbott, the State presented credible evidence to show that severe thunderstorms had occurred the day prior to the accident and that there were wind gusts of up to 48 miles per hour on the day the tree limb fell on Claimant's car.
