Came home one morning at about 2am from a family trip to Italy to find 'something' scattered all over the front porch. One of those big full width of the house + wrap around one side type. Just covered with stuff.
When the sun came up we found that a huge tree near the curb had been struck. this was an elm that had somehow survived the Dutch Elm disease and was well over 3ft in diameter.
