    Alright, so I thought my Ferrari was safe from the hurricane parked in my garage. Again, I thought. I was wrong!

    I'm in the house and I hear a very loud bang, look around the house and don't see any damage. So I thought something hit one of my shutters and that was it...not quite. An hour or two later I go into my garage and see a huge gaping hole in my garage door right behind the car. Panic sets in... The winds were so strong that a roof tile tore through my garage door, bent the steel truss and hit my car. Luckily there was very minimal damage to the car, hardly noticable. As for the garage door, that's a different story... looks like it had the once over from Mike Tyson. I had my neighbors roof tile all over my driveway, hundreds of pieces. I think I need some sort of force field to protect my car, unreal!

    I feel very, very lucky as the damage could have been a lot worse!

    man, that was close. People don't appreciate the power until they've actually gone through one.
