Title: need help with storm damage
Post by: LeeG on December 15, 2006, 11:44:44 pm

So the west coast of Canada is usually considered by people from the other parts of the country as a soft place to live, gentle climate etc etc.  But the last month or so we have been beset by some killer storms, trees uprooted, power outages, bridges closed.....serious stuff.  Lots of media coverage, lots of hype.

My family has coped Ok, couple days in the dark but nothing bad happened until this morning when I found out how dangerous it is to live near big trees.  Everything seemed fine until I left to drive to work.  That is when I saw an incredible site where my Jetta had been parked the night before.   I don't know what to do, I've never seen anything like it.

Warning, the picture linked here is graphic in nature, dont open it unless you have prepared yourself for the shock.  I dont think I will sleep tonight.

Good advice.  I have one of those trees little brothers in the living room window all rigged up with electric lights and stuff now.  Tomorrow I will show them a couple blocks of firewood.  That'll teach them!

hehe... new way of starting fires! simply jack the car up, and lower a tire on a block of wood... secure the wood... the rest should be self explanatory :)
