Plumes, The rear end is dented to the base of the car..the back window is crushed to powder and I am sure the suspention is gone as the tires are flat! It's a goner I am afraid. Mine is better but it also flatened my front tire and crushed the hood. These trees are massive, I am really luckly that only HALF of the tree fell this morning..the trunk looks like someone chainsawed it in half! Still waiting for the city..hopeful they will get rid of it as it on the power lines. My grandson is going to climb up the limb on the house to put a tarp over the holes..it's still raining here almost every day.
The tree is on the edge of my property in the front yard..hoping it's close enough to have the city help, plus they have all the power, cable and phone lines running all around and next to what is left of the tree.
Stillnotsmoking, a few years back I lived in St. Cloud Fl (near Orlando) we had 4 hurricanes go over us in a 4 month span. We had 23 pines on 2 1/2 acres, but hubby had the 6 nearest the house taken down just before hurricane season. 6 more fell during the storms but none hit the house. So many didn't do that and lost roofs. One did level the old horse stable we use as a giant chicken coop! The mess was incredible. Take down the ones near you, take it from me!
Amraan, My car
insurance has paid for a rental, but my grandson can't even get his adjuster out here for 2 days (Taverlers took 2 hours!).
The really bad thing is that this house is over 50 years old and I can't get it insured because of it's age and the fact that I HAD 2 live oaks that are close to it. That's why I am hoping the city helps.
RobinBanks, Thanks, These are both older paid off cars, but new to each of us. I am upset, but my Grandso is devestated, he just had a new transmission , tires, and other stuff done to it for his trip back to college on Friday.
