The Sky Is Falling

Well, not really.....just a branch, but it sure seemed that way when I went to unload my car in Lafayette on Saturday and witnessed a huge branch come tumbling down on my car. Yep, just like that Allstate commercial (the one you watch and think it will never happen to you).

As I was standing in the garage, a huge gust of wind ripped a branch off a tree that is in a neighbor's yard next to Carol and Larry's house and it landed smack dab on the roof of my car. Unfortunately I did not get a picture of the branch on top of the car, but as you can see the tree and the branch were not small. Surprisingly, the car did not suffer that much damage, just a bent luggage rack and some small scratches and dents. Now it is onto the fun of dealing with the insurance companies and having the car fixed. Thank goodness I was not 30 seconds ahead of myself.....I would have had a tree protruding from my head!!!

The Damage Is Done

















If you look closely, you can see where the branched snapped off in the middle of the tree!
