Zero stars. This is what’s left of a neighbor’s Accord waiting for the insurance company. Luckily this was parked at the time, but this is a good demonstration of why you don’t drive around in extreme winds.

Looks like it spared the trunk.

I say 2-1/2 stars. Looks pretty survivable if you were in it.

Well that’s with the vehicle stationary. If we extrapolate to a moving vehicle at the 25MPH speed limit, I don’t think it would be survivable. I was actually surprised it wasn’t worse, but the amount of intrusion into the cabin by the roof likely would have meant very serious injuries at a minimum to some of the occupants. If the vehicle was moving, you also have that secondary crash to deal with.

Could have avoided the whole situation if he had a short shifter and a good tune.

yall seemed to have it worse up north. We had some branches down near me in Richmond, but no trees from what I can tell.

Yeah it was wild here, lots of big trees knocked over. We have lots of trees on our lot, so we slept downstairs Thursday and Friday night just in case something came down.

cut the roof and pillars off a wreck and fix it up, like Arthur.
