How do you explain to the dealer that is sharpening your chain that you "car'ed" your chain??
Hope no one was hurt, but they were DEFINITELY having a bad day!I saw a car with a tree on it like that when we drove through that storm last Friday night on I-95 in Virginia....no chit! Wasn't quite that big, but imagine a tree falling on your car while driving down the interstate!
If that were one of us, and we miraculously were not hurt--do you think we would try to claim the scroung??I don't know if anyone was hurt,it more-or-less landed across the hood/windshield area. But if they were moving at any rate of speed, I would venture to say that it didn't tickle!
I quietly yearned for my chainsaw, truck, and trailer on that long ride home in our minivan!
I'm a little disappointed in you Scotty. I figured you'd be packin' at least one of those 041s in the mini.

Birch trees here blow over with the root ball, spruce snap off a few feet above the ground. Usually in winter wind storms.
After a birch came thru the garage wall one christmas, that summer, all the old growth trees with in range of the house became firewood
Big trees are nice shade trees, but the size & weight of the big trees back east, any within range of any house should be pruned or become fire wood.
IMO, the home owners need to be responsible for their trees & keep their property maintained or have extra insurance.
Seems to be allot of wind blown big trees causing allot of damage;
Time to fire up some chain saws & do some preventive maintenance on any tree near homes & power lines.
When trees are on ROW,s if the home owner don't want the tree fell or pruned,
have them take out an extra insurance policy for any damage it may do, they may re-consider their options.
If you had to pay for the damage your tree/s caused, you may be a little more "pro-active" in keeping it/them safe
There'd be lots of fire wood available for a few years to be scrounged LOL
Pic in this thread is to my point, why is a tree this tall & huge growing near a house, road or power line ? We all know it is eventually going to fall. Duh.
