HUNTINGTON, W.Va. (WSAZ) -- Sometimes it is easy forget just how strong winds can be.
Kathleen Brown has a very clear reminder because a tree fell on her truck Saturday morning and now it is destroyed.
Power lines also snapped in the area, knocking out electricity to portions of Huntington's west end.
Saturday morning's mess is just adding insult to injury for Kathleen -- about a year ago, a tree fell on her house.
When she called her workplace to tell them she wouldn't be in, they had a hard time believing her.
"They said this ain't funny, last year you called and said you had a tree come through your house," Kathleen said, "Now you got trees in your truck, this isn't a joke here."
Kathleen says if she doesn't laugh she will cry. She only has liability insurance on her truck.
She says the tree that fell was on city property.
If there is a silver lining, Kathleen says, its that no one was hurt.
