Sara-yes insurance. Explorer does not look damaged but mustang will need a new

top.

However, homeowners insurance will only cover whatever the tree actually touched

& the part of the tree that did the touching. In other words, there is a limit

to what all insurance will pay as far as the removal of the tree itself.

It is/was a very big specimen tree. We have a 2 story house. The tree part that

decided to break off for no reason landed on the 2nd floor roof, the front porch

& both our vehicles. And there is still (almost) a whole tree left standing that

needs to be removed.

It is very weird. All I am doing now is wishing that rest of tree stays put

until someone can come remove it.

Fortunately, my dear adult sons came over next day to help unbury the vehicles &

front door. And DJ did not freak- I suppose since dad was laughing & I just kept

saying, ok now we live in a tree house...

Fun times.

Charlyne, DJ kept saying " Whats so funny? " . LOL.

My sentiments exactly at the time! Although in hindsight I suppose it is

refreshing that spouse would react that way. Either that or scary (kidding).

Although DJ did not freak out, I think it is because we did not & we tried to

stay silly & calm so he would be ok. DJ did get somewhat antsy/hyper-at least

for him, but eventually this passed.

Hugs,

Kris
