From my days as a Product Owner at a large enterprise. Maybe, but you don't act on a rumour. And you don't waste time in meetings on things that are not actionable.
May 3, 2023, 9:20 PM@leaverou I don’t have “falling” OKRs so it’s not on my radar. Circle back when it’s actionable for bonus time?

So:
The tree was already in an advanced state of structural instability and therefore doesn't count towards our KPI's;
Additionally the top of the tree fell outside the statutory published boundary of the woodland area and so doesn't count towards our actionable goals for this accounting period;
Until a full analysis is made of all circumstances leading up to this alleged tree-fall incident it would be inappropriate to comment on the causes or ramifications at this time.
