While I was on vacation in Hatteras, NC trying to find some waves. Meanwhile in VA there were 90+ mph windbursts where my FD was. I got very lucky, since I don't yet have insurance on it. Made me sick to my stomach when I saw it.

It looks like the tree was very small in the pic, but that is actually just a limb. You can see the main trunk behind it, covered in vines... about 1.5-2+ ft diameter.



The tree snapped off at the base of the trunk. Pretty crazy.

Build a bomb shelter for the FD, mother nature is going after RX7s (polluters) for revenge.

Glad to see everything is alright! Wow, i would have being disapointed to see your FD with a tree on it.

Maybe this is a sign? To upgrade to a 4 car garage... haha the reason you have being waiting for.
