iPanda's thread about things happening while driving with friends reminded me of this story.
My friend L picks me up one day to go thrift shopping and meet up with another friend for a movie. It was really windy, but not stormy. As we're driving along, I noticed a couple trees on the left side of the road waving in the wind.
Then I realized that one of them had continued in the same direction...toward the street. I managed to choke out "Oh shit, look out!!" and L managed to swerve just as the tree fell across the opposite lanes and into our lane on the right side.
Luckily we reached our destination a few moments later, and sat there in the car laughing at our near miss.
Thankfully, it missed hitting any cars, just screwed up traffic for a while.
