I really wish it had landed on the Advanced Towing truck that loiters there all day. That would have been justice.
While I don’t advocate violence, a kick in the pants by Mother Nature would sure please me.
I’m guessing part of the metal cladding came off. Roofs tend to stay put around here.
That really blows.

I was at Curry’s getting the emission inspection when it happened. Now I have to find another DMV to renew before the end of the month, along with hundreds of others who waited until the last minute. *$#&%@)*
You can do it online and print out a temp registration to keep on your dash board.
Car in the picture is mine stuck in pile under the roof.I was told I can’t go near the car.After waiting for 2 hrs I still couldn’t get my drivers license updated.DMV staff were mean to me to they kept saying you have go out of building and I kept them explaining my car is hit and I cant leave.Fire dept and Police office were very helpful and co-operative.
