5am and i hear a big thump outside... fair sized branch decided it was time to die and fall onto my roof. Dent about the size of my fist rear drivers side corner, right next to the rear window. not sure if i should try to tap it out or something? im planning on taking some pics at some point when its light out. think insurance would cover anything like this? im thinkin the deductable is probably more than the full cost but i donno what kinda work it calls for. pretty pissed about this. especially after failing inspection for an exhaust leak. exactly what i need, another bill

Homeowners insurance should cover it. I remember from skunk's meet you really need a paint job... maybe that branch added scratches in pretty bad too, so everything will have to be repainted to repair the damage...

last night must have been the night for trees to attack cars.
saw a taurus on the way to the trainstation this morning with tthe whole back half of the roof caved in and a bunch of short logs cut and stacked next to it.
hopefully ins, will cover your damage.

Watch out today. The winds are really supposed to pick up (gusts over 50 mph).
Good luck with everything.

The wind at my house was ridiculous this morning! It toppled a big maple tree, ripped the end of my satellite off and most of my neighbors had a fair portion of their shingles flapping in the wind! Can't wait to go home and assess the damage.

We have a ton of Oak trees in our neighborhood, needless to say there are branches down everywhere. Our yard is fairly cleaning, a few sticks here and there but nothing compared to some of our neighbors. We sit on top of a hill a mile away from a large body of water so the wind has a tendancy to whip thru our neighborhood. I figured I would find some missing shingles with the winds we saw today but everything seems to be intact.

The wind was pretty interesting by South Station in Boston today - they actually closed down an intersection for a while because things were flying off the roofs of the buildings. One of the traffic lights by Summer St. was bending out of shape, it was whipping around so hard on the pole.

One of the guys at work today saw a parking meter come out of the ground!!!!  It was just nuts downtown, like Matt said. Walking from my office at 280 Summer to Fanueil Hall (the gym is there) was an adventure.
