A huge tire hit our house!

[serena_raye]

It was at three this morning when I was sitting on the couch, happily playing the Tomb of Quadopolec (sp?) on Tomb Raider: Anniversary. Harry was sitting on the floor near the couch, and my mother was reading off the instructions on what to do in the game for me, since I'm not a fan of reading while playing. Suddenly, we hear this crash, like there's a wreck. We don't think much of it, because accidents have been known to happen on the road that I live on. We hear another crash a few minutes later, and then the house shudders a bit as there's the crash of breaking glass. My mom and I are like "What the fuck??" and we rush out to see what's going on. There's a tire sitting beside our porch. Not a regular tire. It's one of those huge tires that goes on construction equipment. The garbage can has been knocked over, is halfway in the yard, and trash is just EVERYWHERE. Seriously. The neighbors are standing near their car, going "O__O". What happened is some people decided it'd be a good idea to roll some huge-ass tires down the hill that's right in front of my house. The first tire veered off to the side and hit our neighbor's car. That was the first crash we heard. The second tire hit our trash can, rolled up the ramp that's attatched to the porch, and crashed right into the outside wall. It did some extensive damage.

This is the inside damage

It's really lucky that my mom was out here, because if she had been in bed, can you imagine what it would've done? She probably would've been hurt. Harry always sleeps with her, too, and he's always hugging the outside wall, right where the tire hit. He probably would've died. There was so much glass, too. It was absolutely crazy.
