Default Lexus nailed by tree during Irma

I guess there are two ways to look at this vid. Like Jerry said on the HP, this could have been way worse. But geez, what crappy luck to get nailed by a tree like this!

Why you out driving during a hurricane???? Hopefully they're okay, and they weren't rushing to the hospital/had some sort of life/death situation as for being on the road. Looks like they took a pretty good hit, as with the road being wet they didn't slow down at all.

They were reportedly trying to get from their mobile home to a relative's house, so they'd be better protected during the storm. But they probably should have left earlier. That's for sure.

Ya, I was in Irma in Florida that took a direct hit from the Eye with speeds of 135 mph constant. I got the video and will look to post it. Basicly shows Estero, Naples and parts of Ft myers getting thrashed. The howling of the wind was so bad it sound like a train or jet plane. My Is 250 Lex was out back and a tree nearly missed it. The dumpster I am parked by took the Hit. Then we followed up with no power for daysssss. Like over a week. One part you can hear police saying get the *** off the roads now! People were still lined up for gas and what ever. Tornadoes touched down and you couldent tell the difference as Irma's winds looked similar. God Speed Every 1.
