Lucky Bug

 Whew!!  We had a pretty good storm pass through here this morning.  







 
  We knew the wind blew but just now looked out and saw this! 









Luckily, not near as much damage as it could have been. I guess that other crab-apple tree is doomed too.


 I stared to breath a little easier as I saw that it looked like it missed the lil Bug entirely.

 oops....looks like I'll be ordering a new antenna.


 The tree fell just in front of the bumper.  There are a few scrapes across the front trunk lid, but they might buff out.
Until we back it up and really assess the damage, it looks like a couple of dents in the roof are the extent of the damage along with the antenna.

Lucky Bug!!
