Big ice storm. My car was covered by a super hard shell of ice so when the tree branch fell on it there was no damage. My car was under this,  I was able to back my car up and get to work on cutting branches.

I had that happen one winter at my old house. Half the tree was laying in the street, blocking traffic...happened while I was at work. By the time I got home, there were 2 notes on my door, bitching about why I hadn't fixed the mess! :icon_smile_angry:
I wish I knew who wrote those, they would have had a yard full of broken tree limbs the next morning. ;D

The Aquamax...yes, this bike spent 2 nights underwater one weekend. (Not my doing), but it gained the name, and has since become pseudo-famous. :)

I was driving down a side road once coming home from work
it was during a severe thunderstorm
on the way home i saw peoples lawn furniture laying all over the neighborhood
but anyway, down that street i was driving along
and a lightning bolt struck this enormous tree that was near the street
i was so scared i slammed on the brake, somehow it was the e-brake and not my reg brakes so when i skidded, i turned 90 degrees sideways
and the noise was so overpowering that i was deaf for a couple of seconds
and then i hear a thud nearby
i look over and see the enormous tree about 10 feet from my car laying across the entire street, blocking the entire street
taking out a phone line with it. i was scared shitless, i sat there for a few mins and tried to recollect myself
when i finally did i turned back and went around the block and went home
scary shit

I haven't had a tree come down except a branch landing on my brother in law's Escalade last Summer but a few years ago on a nice Wintery Sunday we woke up to the sound of running water. I looked out and realized very quickly that I hadn't shut off the yard sprinklers and a pipe had frozen and burst and was shooting water from one end of the yard to the other.
Well, I had a huge ice rink in my front yard and a notoriously nosy neighbor walking over to my house saying that people had called him and asked him to come over and see if I need help in limiting the ice flow down the gutters in front of their houses. :flame:
So I'm out in my pajama's freezing my butt off trying to get neighbor to shut up and go home already while I turn off the water.
I had ice instead of snow in my yard for pretty much the rest of the winter. It was sort of cool in a way, the water had partially frozen mid air making a neat ice sculpture.
