So one day, i was driving my 94 explorer home from a doctor's appointment and there just so happened to be a tornado warning. It had not so much as started raining where i was so i figured whatever, i'll just take my time getting home and it won't be a problem. 2 minutes from my house, the rain came down so hard i could barely see past my hood. so i'm driving at like 20mph in this wind and rain, no big deal right? wrong.
i saw some powerlines explode and before i knew it the loudest bang i have ever heard, and for some reason my car was moving very slowly...i kept the pedal to the floor and got moving again but all of a sudden i was wet, cold, and i had to fight to keep the car on the road. i looked back and noticed i had no back windows, and the roof was actually collapsed. i got home and checked it out, and saw that i was hit by a full size pine tree, it had smashed my ex starting from the back seat. i drug some branches with me but i later found out that the rest of the tree that i narrowly escaped remained blocking a 3 lane road and smashed 2 fences, as well as knocking out the power for a bunch of neighborhoods.
this is a terrible picture, if you saw it in person it looked like i rolled it. if i find more i'll post but this is all i know of.
the next day when inspecting my car, i also noticed my front wheels were pointed out / \ like that, and that's why i couldnt steer. insurance came out and said it was totaled. i payed 1800 for it, and they gave my 3600...and that's how i bought my 99 xlt i have now.
so don't drive during tornadoes.
