CobyTheGoober Posted August 31, 2015 Share Posted August 31, 2015 R.I.P Tree, you didn't deserve to hit such a hard surface (Joking) Where I am right now, a bunch of trees fell, and landed in balconys, and concrete is sprawled all over the sidewalk. It's probably because of the weather right now where I live. I also live on the west coast of Canada. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ErrantDShepherd Posted August 31, 2015 Author Share Posted August 31, 2015 Same here, that storm was gnarly... Never seen it like that in Vancouver, though I hear 2006 was pretty bad. Luckily no one got hurt at my work. Cars at least are replaceable. :\ Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
eclipse Posted August 31, 2015 Share Posted August 31, 2015 That's still gotta suck, though. Hope you can get a new one soon! (car, not tree) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yari Posted August 31, 2015 Share Posted August 31, 2015 (edited) That's really unfortunate. But I'm sure it will be alright. Well... Not the car. The car must be f*cked up. Edited August 31, 2015 by Yari Bryant Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Anacybele Posted August 31, 2015 Share Posted August 31, 2015 (edited) I saw you post about this in the sprite contest thread, so you already know everything I would've said here. It still sucks for your car though. :( How did it happen, do you know? Was there a bad storm or something and the wind blew the tree down? That actually happened to us once, though the truck that the tree crushed wasn't ours, it was someone else's, and the idiot owner tried to sue my grandma because she owned the house we lived in (the tree fell in our yard as well as on the truck, our dog was outside at the time for some reason and was lucky to have not been crushed as well). Yet, the tree wasn't actually part of the property before it fell, it came from the woods next to us. >_> The guy still tried to sue anyway. But of course, he failed.

ErrantDShepherd Posted August 31, 2015 Author Share Posted August 31, 2015 Car is pretty definitely gonna be a write off as its got frame damage... But interestingly enough no windows broke, not even where it got majorly caved in near the rear window. :o Happened at my work during this huge windstorm that hit the West coast on Saturday. Power shut down in the store, then we saw this crazy wind outside.... Apparently 90km winds. I saw the tree fall with a co worker as we were trying to clear fallen tree limbs in the parking lot so people could drive out... We got the hell back inside and let people out the back entrance. If someone had been hit by one of those flying tree limbs though... :S It wasn't till later I realized my car had been trapped. We saw the tree blocking the road, and heard that someone's car was crushed under it, I went to go take a look and realized... Then I got to tell people tried coming up, "we are closed, it is not safe due to the winds and Trees, my car got crushed by a tree!" It is pretty surreal seeing people checking out your car under there, and taking pictures though. o_0 Thankfully at the moment, everything I have been told so far has me covered, got pics, got a witness statement. We've got one major insurance claims company in BC called ICBC, and 3/4 of the agents I have talked to sorting my claim have been super awesome and helpful. Glad my friend got me signed up for the Roadside plus...otherwise, might not have been covered. :\ People have been so helpful, glad we're covered and 3/4 of the agents have been super cool... So hey, least I can joke about it now. :p Been saying my guess is because the Tree was clearly completely at fault. ;p Didn't have the right of way, no turn signals, and crashed right into my parked car! :o ...though, I guess it did seem... Pretty cut up about it afterwards. ;) ‪#‎terribletreepuns‬ ‪#‎weareok‬thankfully Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Anacybele Posted August 31, 2015 Share Posted August 31, 2015 90km?! Damn, that's nuts. Sounds like hurricane weather or something. o.o At least there was no tornado or anything though...right? lol tree puns. You could also say that those people are...branching out for ya! Haha. That one works, right? :P Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

That one works, right? :P I don't live there,but I saw some of the damage.It's just,wow.The hyrdo's website is still down due to the traffic of people in Metro Vancouver trying to see when their power will be on.And this has been since Saturday. We don't get hurricanes in BC.That's more likely in Alberta.We get rainstorms and earthquakes. What I heard a lot of people got some bad damages,and someone was injured from a tree.It was good it was just your car and not yourself or a person.

eclipse Posted August 31, 2015 Share Posted August 31, 2015 90 km/h = ~56 mph I'm surprised everything wasn't shut down due to the winds. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Water Mage Posted August 31, 2015 Share Posted August 31, 2015 (edited) A tree fell on your car? Well, here's something interesting that happened on the building I lived: A bowling ball fell on a car once. I kid you not. It really did happen. The truth is disappointingly simple however.

Yari Posted August 31, 2015 Share Posted August 31, 2015 A bowling ball? What in the world happened? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Water Mage Posted August 31, 2015 Share Posted August 31, 2015 A group of teens were doing a dare on the building I lived. The dare was to throw a bowling ball from the 10th floor. I was the loudest sound I've ever heard, I seriously jumped off my bed. But like I said, it was such a simple explanation, I was kinda disapointed. I was expecting something much crazier.

Infinite Dreams Posted September 1, 2015 Share Posted September 1, 2015 Aww, that really sucks, dude. I can't believe so many trees fell over! I heard it was because the drought weakened their roots? I just got my power back recently after being in the dark for almost 2 days. That was fun. ; [ Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TheAssassinMercenary Posted September 1, 2015 Share Posted September 1, 2015 Sorry about your car. I hope your insurance covers it and doesn't give you some "your tree was improperly trimmed" crap. Hurricanes can cause some serious damage. After Hurricane Irene, I saw a boat in a tree a few miles from my house. I kid you not. Not to mention that there were jet skis scattered everywhere along the highway, and that a new bridge had to be built over an inlet that was ripped open in the storm. BTW, I lived on the OBX of North Carolina at the time. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ErrantDShepherd Posted September 3, 2015 Author Share Posted September 3, 2015 (edited) Thanks. We are covered thankfully. Weird winds for here, never had Hurricane type weather on the West Coast I can recall. :o Awesome news too, Grandpa heard what happened and he sent us some money to help get a new car, as its a write off officially now. :D Edited September 3, 2015 by TheErrantShepherd Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
