1968 1968 GTCS damaged in Southern California windstorm

First off, I would like to express my sadness to all in Southern California who have been severely impacted by the fire disasters going on. Obviously human life is of so much more importance than property. I am however sorry to report that my 68 GTCS was heavily damaged by felled tree due to severe windstorm last Tuesday. The tree crushed garage and also damaged my neighbors home. We had to evacuate due to Eaton Canyon fire, so do not know real extent of damage other than seeing large diameter branch has impaled the GTCS through hood. My home and zone we are in has been spared from fire, but right now National Guard is stationed and we are prevented on returning. I purchased this car from Original owner Barney and Patricia Eglit, it was mostly in original condition. I will try to post more photos when we are able to return and are able to sort out removing tree and car.

Wow, that's painful to look at. Hopefully it can be repaired.

Some updated photos, unbeliviably the 65 Barracuda escaped any damage, for now. Need to get a crane to lift tree, re-enforce unstable and compromised garage, and try to get the cars out.

It may not be as bad as it first looked. Good luck with the rescue.
