If you thought the local storms were bad for you, then remember they could always be worse. This was the case for one Candler resident in Asheville when a tree literally crashed through their kitchen this weekend. The tree entered through the ceiling of the kitchen and you can see the debris caused by the tree on the kitchen table.

This shows the sheer force generated by the tree and shows that mother nature can be extremely brutal at times. As seen below, the entirety of the house was also covered on the outside by a number of trees and branches – almost covering the house in the process.

On a separate note, you can only imagine the costs associated with this damage. We can only hope that this house was covered by insurance. However, as we all know – sometimes, insurance companies can be notorious tricky when paying out after damages. Thankfully though, the damage didn’t look that bad and at least the tree didn’t destroy the entire house. Still, you can only imagine walking into your kitchen and seeing a literal tree sticking through it!

Having said this, on a brighter note – this could have been fatal if the owner was hit by the tree. Hopefully, this also symbolizes the worst of the storm and that the damage is now over. Not just in Asheville, but in the entirety of the USA.
