Rick Weir’s white Subaru had its hood crushed as he barely escaped from the car. He was checked out at the hospital with a sore neck and back. He expressed his belief that he could have died had the tree fallen on a different portion of his vehicle. In addition to damaging cars, the tree took out electrical and phone lines when it came down.
