7:15 this morning, walking out to my car to head to Dunks for the usual Sunday morning coffees. I park under a giant oak, as I'm walking to the car, about 10 feet from it, I hear this horribly loud shredding sound. The oak is coming down!, I U-turn and start running while at the same time trying to figure out the direction of the falling oak. Came right down on top of my car and literally stood over it, due to a giant stump that literally held it up and just over my car.
Power goes out on the entire street. This tree was so full and massive that I had no idea the extent of the damage. Neighbor comes over with his chain saw, we work our way to the driver's side. He starts chain sawing his way through, clears a path and I'm able to get the car out of it with out any damage, complete miracle, if not for that stump that it had landed on, the car would have been crushed. 10 second later, I could have been backing out right into it. Aside from that and keeping gas in the generator, everything's ok I guess.
