Just been reading about an E-Type that was crushed when the garage it was stored in collapsed upon it during a storm. Has anyone's car suffered at the hands of Mother Nature in a similar way, say by flood, storm damage, land slip etc?

Grandma's Pinto got crushed by a fallen tree. I drove the banana to the insurance assessor who appraised the damage for more than we paid for the car & gave me a check, & the car back, on the spot.
Bought a 2-year newer model & got a few bucks for the scrap one.
Good deal! It doesn't usually work that way!

Our store is close to the sea,this is the view from the bedroom windows above.So far,fingers crossed we escaped any flood damage although the phones,electric etc all went off for a few days.

We now live a few miles away but had a worrying time with the last floods as its not that far from the dockside and the sea water came within inches of breaching the flood defences,and the house is lower than the wall.

The daughter-in-laws Fiat 500 Arbarth stopped a ridge tile from damaging the drive.
