During a big storm while Rachael was at her piano lesson, a large tree branch fell on her family's car. When her father went outside to check on the car, he discovered that the back window was smashed, there was glass inside and out of the car, and a large dent in the roof. The neighbors helped remove the tree from the damaged car. The car was likely too damaged to repair and would be sent to be used for spare parts, but fortunately nobody was hurt in the incident.
