    Look what DIDN'T happen to my gorgeous Comet! My Jeep is parked 2 feet from my hot Mercury sweetness and last nights storm apparently did this.

    No fun, but I'll bet there are a lot more Jeep parts out there than Comet parts. ;)

    If your car insurance doesn't cover this, perhaps your homeowner's policy will.

    Sucks.

    But I agree... limb looks dead anyways, was just a matter of time.

    As for the jeep... throw it away. They will make you Just Empty Every Pocket

    That tree is a gargantuan monolith in my yard. It's like a million feet high and spreads over most of my front yard. I have a photo somewhere of my land on 1903 and that tree is in it.
    Got struck by lightning 5 years ago and is just finishing losing all the dead stuff. It gets full in the summer, you should see how big it is when it's covered in green.

    I guess I need to park elsewhere.
