The weather has not been friendly. In the summer we saw massive wildfires caused by an intense drought. Now we're getting battered by some of the worst winter storms we've ever seen. It doesn't help that they appear to be ganging up on us to blow our roofs off and throw trees at us. There is only so much your roof can take before it has to wave that white flag and give up. Here are some 
Two homes were crushed by a massive tree in Scripps Ranch, ripping right through the roof and into the living rooms.
Bruce Tindall came home to a natural disaster in his living room and his upstairs office. The glass from Tindall’s sliding glass door imploded into a million pieces in his living room. His ceiling caved in downstairs and upstairs.
The arborist who showed up to haul the tree away said the eucalyptus tree that toppled was about 50-years-old and 140 feet tall.
“I’m just happy nobody was home when it happened and no one was injured," Tindall said.
The giant tree also tore into his neighbor’s home. Both homeowners have been told they can’t stay in their homes because the structures have been compromised.

And let's not forget this one:
IMPERIAL BEACH - High winds and rains clobbered Imperial Beach Friday, leaving one apartment complex without a part of its roof.
10News reporter Joe Little was at the scene after severe weather ripped the roof off of an apartment unit on Seacoast Drive.
San Diego Sheriff's deputies and fire crews responded to the scene and reported no injuries.
Portions of the roof were found nearby scattered across the Tijuana Estuary.

Finally, the icing on the cake:
Chula Vista is one of the hardest hit local communities after this weekend’s storms and they’re still cleaning up on Monday.
“It just totally smashed the upper wall and the roof in,” says Mike Hiller, whose home was damaged by the storm.
A tree crashed down onto Hiller’s roof damaging one wall and the chimney. Hiller’s son was home alone at the time.
“He heard a crackling noise, the dog started tripping out, and then he heard a big boom like a bomb,” adds Hiller.
It wasn’t just the one tree at the Hiller house. Several other ones toppled over in the yard and even onto the neighbors roofs.
“When we got home, we saw this, it looked like a hurricane came through,” according to Hiller.
It’s a story we’re hearing all over Chula Vista, where neighbors are cutting up and clearing out what’s left a major winter storm. Most of the city’s 57 parks are closed because so many trees came down, and more could follow.
“We started mopping up which is going to take us at least a week with our crews and contractor crews helping us to mop up all the messes here,” says Chula Vista Public Works Director Rick Hopkins.
Rohr Park was the hardest hit. An arborists is checking out the trees Monday to see how many more might still fall.
“We really hope people will heed the warnings when the park says closed and stay away,” adds Hopkins.

Wow. All these roofs have has the worst days of their lives. There's always something trying to either tear them off or break them down. Sometimes you can't help it if a giant tree smashes into your house. In some instances, no matter how much you try, that roof is going to give. Take the guessing game out of it though.
