Default Close call...

I came home from work two days ago. It was sunny with a light breeze (maybe 5 knots). I went in my house and was sitting in front of the computer and heard a loud rumble and a crash. I looked out the window to see my neighbor's trashcan flying down the street. The winds were cooking...I would say around 50 mph. I ran out the back door where the crash noise came from to find this....

Missed my trailer by 18 inches. Had my SM F-18 and BVM Bandit inside. Man I was lucky.

THAT IS HILARIOUS!!!

The tree that nearly took out my trailer is about 18" in diameter and around 75 feet tall, but not even close to that guy!
