My husband and I received a call at about 7:00 AM on Sunday morning, August 31st. It was from my mom. She said that my aunt and uncle would like me to come to their house this morning, to take some pictures for them.

Imagine yourself snuggled into your bed sleeping soundly. The time is 2:00 AM. All of a sudden, you are startled awake by a thunderous crash! It’s dark outside, so you can’t see anything. This is precisely what happened to my aunt and uncle. The noise was so loud; it brought my aunt right out of bed! I can imagine how I would be at this point, trying to clear the fog in my head so I could think clearly.

My aunt turned on some lights, and they started looking around. She found a piece of molding lying on the floor in their bedroom. It was very obvious something was wrong.

My uncle went out and turned on the outside lights to look around. He could see through a window that there was siding from their house lying on the ground. He went outside to get a better look. He could see more damage, and sent my aunt for a flashlight. Upon shining the light up onto the house, they could finally see the cause of the noise and damage.

There, sticking into their roof above their bedroom was a set of dual wheels off of the back of a truck! Apparently, the dual wheels from one side of the truck had come off while it was going past their house. Still rolling, they entered my aunt and uncle’s driveway, ramped up over the back of my aunt’s car, and landed in their roof!
