Shit turned biblical last night apparently. Definitely cooler morning. Time to clean up. Good day to be a tree guy business just picked up.

u/tooOldOriolesfan 1d ago

While I will take the cooler temps, the humidity today is not good. Of course that comes with rain.

Good luck OP.

I was pouring sweat this morning on my bike ride. The humidity is brutal.

Color NOT an Exaggeration- From Inside House. 🏡 Gotta Love Arizona Dust Storms. Can Confirm- A/C (“Cooler” - for those that grew up in AZ in the 80’s); DOES SOUND WEIRD TODAY.

Hopefully your insurance covers Acts of Imhotep

Idk how people can live here long term and not realize you dont park underneath trees for more than just a shopping trip

Depends on the Tree, Iron woods and Desert Oaks and even Olive trees don't break, Eucalyptus and Palo Verdes and Pines on the other hand are car killers. Especially eucalyptus, the main tree might say up, but it will drop some nasty branches (like what happened to OPs 528i).

u/amjhwk Tempe 1d ago

Trees in parking lots are almost always eucalyptus or Palo verdes

5

u/retrobimmers 1d ago

The point is don't park under trees. Don't try and calculate if said tree will fall, just avoid it

u/pilznerydoughboy 6h ago

Especially for us German car enthusiasts. Just isn't worth risking it

u/CloudNo446 1d ago

I just had a huge pine removed 3 weeks ago and I am so glad I did.

u/mavenofmavens 1d ago

And eucalyptus is crazy heavy

u/Simple_Anteater_5825 23h ago

Olive trees? Neighbor would like to have a say on this.

To clarify, lots of big branches, but the main trunk is fine.

u/MrKixs Sunnyslope 21h ago

You can get the non-fruiting kind, I believe that is what they have on Central along the bridle path. Those have been up for decades.

2

u/RustyBadger27 7h ago

Nah even those ones drop olives along Central. I step in them all the time.

**At least, enough do that I notice it.

The plus of parking under/near trees is the shade they provide. The negative is often bird crap on your car. Or in extreme cases the tree on your car.

u/Swolie7 1d ago

this fell at my work, landed right on top of my parking spot.. had i tried to leave 30 minutes later than i did, i would have been in the same position

u/heshwillbiteANYTHING 1d ago

Not my car. Neighbors car. Still shitty

u/Troj1030 Glendale 1d ago

Totally fixable. Just a scratch. It will buff right out.

u/notoriousmr 1d ago

Sorry bro that sucks!😢

4

u/MrKixs Sunnyslope 1d ago

Sad thing is with the cost of cars right now, I am betting the Insurance company will opt to fix it rather than total it out.

8

u/tooOldOriolesfan 22h ago

The bottom line is that the victim usually loses out. Even if you get your money, you still have time wasted on the phone, dealing with insurance, getting estimates, dropping off the car, getting a rental, picking up the car, taking time off from work to do a lot of this stuff. It all adds up.

1

u/MrKixs Sunnyslope 21h ago

Ya, I will give American Family credit. When I got in my accident they handled all of that. To bad they are CRAZY expensive. You get what you pay for I guess.

u/CitySlack 1d ago

Dammnnn! R.I.P. to the Beemer 😂

u/Not_me_no_way 1d ago

The eucalyptus tree did them a favor. That BMW was going to make its way onto a tow truck one way or another.

u/CitySlack 1d ago

Trees won the World Series. It’s to be expected.

u/Pettingallthepups 1d ago

Damnit I wish this would happen to my car so bad 😭 i have gap insurance and absolutely hate my car and want a new one. I PRAY something like this happens

u/IndependentBitter435 Gilbert 1d ago

Tree did him a favor!

u/greatdain 7h ago

Then the pool guy comes and says you need to landscape better because your pool is full of shit

u/Resident_Print_3076 5h ago

This was my neighbor from the hurricane we had just last week. Yes I did offer to help, after I made this my screensaver 🤷‍♀️

u/Consistent-Let2546 5h ago

Does anyone know if the dust is dangerous to in hail? The news talks air quality and no burn days in the winter. But what's in this dust? Do they ever take a sample and see what's in this dust? I used to drink beer and sit out and watch. After 9/11 and that dust was full of asbestos and that killed many people. I wonder if these dust storms (nobody calls them haboobs) are they full of Round Up weed killer and other toxic chemicals that these storms get off the desert floor (nobody calls it the 'valley')

u/FlakyTurnip2111 2h ago

Good. BMW drivers deserve this

u/retrobimmers 1d ago

You parked under trees in these storms? Thats the #1 thing to be aware of this season
