These Eucalytptus trees do this regularly after heavy rains and high winds. I had 2 different 90 ft ones crash next to my house over the years.Most important thing is that no one was hurt. Here in San Diego we have had several people killed by these trees going down over the years.

Well..... The tree already removed the engine for those who would scrap it! Guess that's a plus? Less labor?

Ouch...

I wish I'd taken a pic of it, but I was at the local pick-n-pull last weekend and there was a Mk4 Jetta gasser with a very distinct U-shape to its roof down to the trunklid and hood. Yeah, it'd really be a drag sitting in the car when some big ol' tree decides to go over on it.
