Death of a Car...

So, if you live in the Cincinnati area, you know that we are still in the middle of a black out from the remnants of Hurricane Ike that blew through here on Sunday. We were at the Bengals game when the winds really started kicking up. In addition to the Bengals looking horrible and losing the game... we walked back to my parked car to find this. Yes, an entire tree was uprooted and fell on my car. There is a huge hole next to my car where this tree just popped out of the ground - roots and all. My trunk area is crushed and the wheels are turned out which probably means my back axle has snapped. We have not yet been able to get it towed, so I don't know what the extent of the damage is. So, now it is Tuesday and we are still without power in little Woodlawn, KY. Dave and I crashed at my Mom and Dad's condo over in Mt. Adams last night so we could at least watch the football game last night and have hot showers this morning. We will probably camp out here again if we still have no power at home, but hopefully today will end the black out for us. Certainly makes you glad you don't live where the hurricane actually hit full force.

That is just insane! I can't believe it fell on your car! I guess you'll get to get a new car out of it, huh!? :) So, are we getting together soon!? :)
