A close call eek! with my truck but not a scratch.
House next door did not fare too well.
I think this was caused by a microburst.

Water Oak. They have a real shallow root system and come down fairly easy after they get old. Back in 98 one fell on my truck and did about $6000 damage. Three years later it got totaled in an accident. My insurance Co. paid out more in claims than what I paid for it :D .
Nobody was hurt but the owners of the house are elderly and it scared the daylights out of them.
