Close Call - TT Almost Crushed by Falling Tree

Never park your TT in the open. I failed to park mine under cover last night and awoke this morning to find that a tree had fallen only 3-4 feet in front of it. Good thing I hadn't pulled all the way up in the driveway or I'd be tied up on the phone with the insurance company now rather than typing this note. I've attempted to attach a picture to this message and hope you can view it.

Pics of Close Call

I tried to add a pic as an attachment to my earlier message but obviously failed. This link should lead to pics of the close call. http://www.kodakgallery.com/BrowsePh...5771385&page=1

Somthing similar almost happened to me, when I was doing the Giro just two weeks ago. I was driving down this long driveway at the Ojai Valley Inn, then I heard this loud cracking sound (kind of like lightning, but there wasn't a cloud in the sky). I looked up and saw that this big @$$ tree right above me was loosing one of its branches. So I had to gas it a little and it landed behind me.
