What happened with the storm damage in TN


WTH!

This was my Outback from a few years back. When I drove it off, the only thing that broke was the rear windshield wiper. A branch hit the plastic roof rack, but it didn’t even leave a scratch!

So sorry your car got damaged. I’m glad you and your family are okay. Hope everyone else is safe too.

My 80-year-old mother is visiting. The tornado landed about 2 miles away from us. We’re lucky overall but I’m still mad about the car damage since I bought it only 2 months ago :angry::angry:

@Lesley
Tornadoes in Tennessee? This is bad news.

It’s not really a surprise, right?

You sound like an insurance agent. Lol

There have been many casualties so far, but this person is just upset about a broken window.

@Laurel
The original poster used only a few words. Anyone would be upset if a tree fell on their car. People on this forum can be really ridiculous at times.

Some people call it toxic positivity. If someone says they had their package stolen, or a tornado wrecked their car, there’s always someone saying, “but do you have cancer?” It’s tough to win that argument.

I thought this was an outback forum :joy::joy::joy:

I wouldn’t mind the damage much since I have to replace my hatch and taillights anyway, but my issue is that all of this is coming after a storm that harmed people.

I wouldn’t want to post online for sympathy over something so minor.

@Laurel
I’m thankful we didn’t get hurt. That’s what matters.

@Laurel
lol. You get an upvote just for being honest. lol.

At least it was just the back window and not worse. Happy you are okay.

Actually, I think the entire hatch needs replacing. The branch broke it pretty badly. Now the whole back area is wet. Trying to dry it out as best as I can.

@Lesley
It depends, but there are quite a few plastic parts between that window and the hatch. I’ve replaced similar parts before on my own car.
If you ever see a 2010 in Knoxville with a Scooby-Doo decal, it’s mine. I need to fix that hatch again after a hit-and-run.

Could have used a garage for safe parking.

We also have garages, but filled with classic cars, so our daily drivers stay outside.
