Coverd the car with its leafy branches. I can remember just sitting there in the dark not believing what had just happened. Not being able to open a door, and seeing downed lines in the headlights, I put the car in reverse, and slowly backed away. I drove home in shock, and shaking. The next morning I inspected my car. Not a scratch or dent on it. Other people not as fortunate. Clean up for days in our area. This happened decades ago. I still remember every emotion. So very grateful all of you are unharmed.BaileyBobSouthernDoghttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15774195054453236446noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-860373600653353661.post-53252398079952072302015-09-02T14:35:38.127+02:002015-09-02T14:35:38.127+02:00Quite a storm.
