As I told a lot of you, while we were at SDAC/SRT Nats a storm knocked a tree on my project Rampage. It was parked at my parents' house. My mom said she couldn't see it under the tree. Boy, she was right. And it was more like 3 or 4 trees that fell in domino fashion.
But...
The Rampage appears to be unscathed! Or at least as unscathed as it was to start with. A tree 18-20" in diameter right next to it broke about 7 feet from the ground and fell over the top. At least 2 others fell over it, as well. It's in a huge pile of tree, but somehow it looks like almost no limbs actually hit the thing! Incredible.
The same with my dad's '56 F100 he's restoring, which was parked a few feet away. Tree all around, but nothing actually hit it. Just a month or so ago, he cut down a huge, old, rotten maple tree which would certainly have fallen on his shop. He's got a cherry '55 Ford Victoria and a '68 Mustang in there. Everything spared, it looks like.
I'll post some pictures later.
