Default just another day at work ( tree falls on cars)

so i go to work and the power is out....then it goes back on for 15 minutes, then it shuts off again, and stays off for an hour....before the lights come back on...i hear thunder...well atleast I thought it was thunder...I look out the window and a HUGE tree fell on 7 cars... insane....I of course, went out there with my camera and snapped shots immediately.....the first pics ...the root of that three is a good 15 feet in the air now.. enjoy



theres a car or 4 in there somewhere...

My guess is that the Passat wagon is totaled. The Bug don't look to good either. That will ruin your day.

Glad to hear the GS is not damaged.
I thought it was when I saw your post.

That sucks...just think...going to work in the morning, looking for a nice spot to park with some shade...then you come to find out that spot wasn't so good after all! Just goes to show how random life is and that our own decisions don't always drive the outcome.

That tree must have had something against V W. It killed itself to take out 2.

Yeah I heard about the continuing rainfall weather out in Cali. Probably not a good time at this time to go out there...
