A week ago, the San Francisco Bay Area was lashed by a monster storm. Though the rain was very much needed, this storm knocked the branches off a massive pine tree next to the driveway -- sheer luck none of them landed on the car! Then, the roof sprang a leak INSIDE her closet, and all her clothes got soaked. She had to drag everything out and dry in the living room.

Here's what the driveway and porch looked like, the minute the rain let up.
