Hey:

We had storm last night. Half of the neighbor's tree was knocked over.
When I checked it out this morning, I saw this:

I checked on the MM, to find that the top of the tree missed it by about 1 foot.

Unfortunately, my wife's car was parked next to our house (so that it wouldn't get hit in the street, how ironic), and it took a bit of a beating.

Luckily no one was hurt, and we got the tree removed this afternoon. The Beemer will need a new trunk, sunroof, and lots of paint. We ware waiting to find out if and want the insurances will cover.

Thanks,
Peter aka MMM2003

It's obvious that the tree is a Marauder lover also. ;)

It's a plot; the trees are out to get us. Especially the dreaded Bradford Pear, Marauder death squads. :flamer:
