Glad it wasn't mine! Power has been out all day around here. Branches and trees everywhere...

My power from the same storm was just restored after eight hours, two hours ahead of estimates. Tell me the crushed one isn't from today…?

That blue one was Ron Salmons from Bus Depot. Happened on his property in PA several years ago.

Is that white van parked at a no parking sign? A ticket would have been less work.

When I rolled my van, all of the side glass except the drivers door remained intact. I was amazed.

It is. Its laying there intact, but the reflection of the bent down roof gives the illusion the glass is bent into a V shape. Still amazing, but it's flat.

It's flat? Following the lower rubber sure looks like it's bent.
