Use some of the wood from the downed tree to build a garage in its old spot, if only in some symbolic way, like with a cross-cut mounted on the exterior of the new structure. That would be a nice way to honor an old tree that avoided squashing your house and your MINI.

Who is this Ernesto guy and who does he think he is?

Sounds like a real bully to me. Sorry to hear your being picked on.

Ernesto is this blowhard who is full of hot air.

But I think he blew himself away last night.

Ernesto is a jerk.

Glad you are OK. Just had a big one come down, and it just brushed my house!

I agree with your neighbor, your "luck meter" was high that day!!
