Damn Trees

Post by Gator »

Well, about an hour ago, i woke up to a loud noise. I thought it was a car accident followed by an explosion. So, when I go outside to see what the deal is, I see a tree has fallen across our parking area and landed on several cars. Since I am an unlucky barsteward, I see that it is lying across both of our cars -- and our cars are parked 50 feet apart -- on different sides of the street. I'll post pictures in the morning. Even so, our cars did not bear the brunt of the tree attack. another family also had both cars hit - one totalled. All told, there are at least 10 smashed cars.

From ONE tree? Damn, trees like that don't exist here. They get knocked down well before they get that big by 'canes. :)

But let's be honest here, if you really wanted the tree to fall on your car for a decent insurance claim, it would probably have hit the house, and to sure of p[issing you off, I'd guess that your home insurance would have run out at midnight the day before. :lol:

Are you sure it was not a Tree Ent???? It could not have been worse if someone engineered it - barring Kodiak's example!
