View Full Version : A tree decided to renovate my garage...

... and destroyed it :cry:
I got a call at work today from my dad and he said i had to go home, a tree took out the garage and landed on the house. That's a pretty accurate description.. Luckily I'm a slacker and my camaro was NOT in the garage, the only thing of value in the garage was a harley sportster and that managed to be unscathed. My cats also usually hang out in there, but luckily they were all in the house.

That's only half the tree! Looks like the garage might have saved the house. At least your Camaro wasn't in the garage! :omg:

you would climb a tree you monkey
hack that thing up and have a bonfire with it!
that really sucks that your garage got destroyed, but I'd rather lose a garage than a house.

Dayum, best of luck with the house repairs! Hey, look on the bright side, you can replace that garage with a nice 2-bay instead. :)

That is insane...
seemed to come out of nowhere up here
it started drizzling and then i drove 50 feet and it started to downpour with ridiculous winds
i went to pick up my brother from school and there were branches scattered all over the roads.. good thing i didnt have the new car or i don't think i'd have made it
supposedly there was a small tornado in allendale but i don't believe it

That from the crazy windstorm the other day? We got it bad here and it was only like 10 miles so probably right? The day when it was like night at 330 in the afternoon?
Anyway, that really sucks :( Hope you fix it soon. No cars in it right?
