And if the tree would have come down two seconds later nothing at all would have happened. Apparently God doesn't like VW Polo's.

If she'd stayed home from church, she wouldn't have had the accident at all, so clearly God dislikes church-going grandmothers.

A tree blew on to her car - it's pretty obvious that God was trying to kill her, just messed up the timing a fraction.

Trees are evil. Everyone knows that. Luckily, the good Witch of the South saved her.

God says "consider this a polite warning."
