Timber!

Oops! Forgot to enter this.

It was Friday the 13th yesterday. Guess what? A rather hefty branch (around 4 inches in diameter) of one of our trees broke and fell on our car. That was one heavy branch. Couldn't lift it and could hardly push or pull it away.

Sorry to disappoint the superstitious but there are no broken windows, not even dents. At worst there could be some nearly invisible scratches on the roof of the car. The leaves and outlying twigs must've acted like a shock absorber and broken its fall. Nobody even heard it come crashing down (may have done so in slow mo). This branch had probably already been partially snapped by that incredibly strong typhoon that struck two week ago.
