Watch the video until the end, though, because the unthinkable/inevitable happens, and Homebuy #1 gets to plant a kiss on a neighbor’s tree at 15 MPH. Or face plants into a neighbor’s tree at 15 MPH. It depends on who’s watching.
The gallery features some significantly less painful images of Tropical Storm Fay.
