We had hail, torrential rain, and even a little snow on Tuesday night. These are our daughters cars parked in front of our house. And yes, there are two of them under that tree.
Apparantly, the claim for insurance on this type of natural disaster is called a "calamity claim", according to the city who owns the tree on the parking strip. It could have been a lot worse. The Toyota RAV4 got the most of the tree trunk falling on it and glass wasn't even broken. I feel much better about by daughter driving it after this. It held up quite well. Don't you think? Nothing broken on the two cars that oh,
ABOUT $12,000.00 wont' fix.
And this is what we woke up to this morning. I'm hoping the second tree doesn't break under the snow before the leaves fall. You notice that the cars are still parked under the remaining tree. Maybe not so smart.
On a happier note; I'm so glad I pulled the last of the vegetable plants from the garden yesterday.

Wow! That really IS a calamity! Just glad no one was in the cars when it came down! We received our snow squall on Monday! Wild weather this October. We had hail a few weeks ago that broke a window in our home. Joni
ReplyDeleteOh my! Crazy weather! I'm so happy your girls weren't hurt, but sorry about the cars!
ReplyDeleteYour house is beautiful, and so is the fresh snow:) Be safe!
oh gosh, i'm glad no one was hurt!
ReplyDeleteand snow in october? is that normal where you are?
Kassi,
ReplyDeleteWe often get a little snow but not usually this much. The broken tree was from the wind the night before. We didn't get much fall but went right to winter.
Wow, crazy. Where do you live in Utah? We are in Eagle Mountain. Just moved here in June from Kansas. We barely got a dusting of snow those 2-3 days.
ReplyDeleteWOW...what a horrible thing to happen. Glad no one was hurt.
ReplyDeleteSo many times trees that are planted near a street are just not healthy, being most of their roots are under pavement or concrete and can't really sustain a mature tree.

Oh, Bonnie! This really does look like a disaster. I'm so sorry. A picture is worth a 1000 words.
