Standard pre-story reassurance: everyone is ok.
I wanted to make this thread after I had pics available but internet at the house is still out for the night due to the storm.
While driving home from work tonight a giant tree fell over and landed on my car. Crumpled the roof pretty hard and broke the windshield. Tow truck guy said it's totalled and I'm inclined to agree.

Woah you are lucky. It fell on your car while you were driving down the road? How fast were you traveling?

Well it was raining pretty heavily visibility was at a minimum and I was going through an office park.. so I doubt I was moving faster than 20-25 MPH.

Here's some pics taken from the album that's on facebook:

WOW ... that is crazy.  I am glad everything (except for the car ... obviously) turned out ok.  Who knew office parks could be so dangerous.
