Tree on my Car...No Joke

Well I hope that everyone woke up without the surprise that I did. :yikes:

Savvytangerine had this odd look on her face, and had nervous giggles. "Umm Mom?," she says, "We have a problem."

We both go outside to find two pine trees sitting on top of the car, essentially trapped. It looks like the car isn't damaged - but we need some help.

Does anyone have a chainsaw we can borrow? Or any other suggestions?

We are a bit nervous to try to do it on our own, and don't have the proper power tools. We don't have to have the trees hauled off, just cut up and moved off the car.

So, good morning everyone. :doh:

And oh yeah - we are located in Seagrove Beach. :wave:

I'm so sorry! I wish I was there with my chainsaws; I'd be happy to help. Anyone?

Did you try that jkuhn guy? He sounded nice, and I'm sure he has one.

Storm wasn't that bad - just some almost dead trees that fell funny. Just came in from outside, I was cutting some of the smallest branches to get a better look at the car ... And I'm happy to say that it really doesn't look like it hurt the car. We braced the trees in a couple places just in case they move any.

Not funn - but we feel very lucky.

Please check your private messages - I can offer a chainsaw...

Thanks Bimmer - we will let ya know. (But do you know that you know us really well? Here's the hint - I worked there and you actually know where I live. 😀 )


Thanks everyone else for the well wishes and the concerns! Haven't found anyone to help us yet, but will be sure to post once the car is free.

For the curious - I don't have a digital camera (on my Christmas wish list) so I can't share pics.

We had no damage at all! One little limb kept the trees from breaking the windows. We are very lucky!!

Wow--that's amazing! :clap:

I had just a limb fall on the back of my car during an ice storm just after college. It wasn't even a big limb, but it broke the back windshield and dented the roof. It was heated glass, so just the glass was $900, and they had to fix the dent to put the glass in. Yikes.

I don't park under trees anymore.

Oh Yeah! :wave: Thanks so much Bimmer for all of the help.:wub: I keep looking outside amazed that the car is fine. I feel very lucky right now. :blush:

No way I could be upset over this one. It is an interesting story though.. "So how was your weekend." .... "2 trees fell on my car - but the car is fine." :blink:

Long time ago, and insurance covered it. One more reminder that gravity is the deadliest force in the universe!

Should we put the minds of Sowal together and fight this 'gravity'? 😀

Glad insurance covered it - we took a very photos yesterday to be on the safe side. It was 35mm though, but when the roll is developed I'll dig up the thread and share. It is a sight to see.
