A gusty south wind launched a huge limb onto Rebecca Glukowsky’s car Monday morning, crushing its roof and adding another notch to her two years of bad luck.
“That’s all I’ve have,” said Glukowsky, suppressing tears.
Her son, Eric, died on March 24, 2015. A Marine, “he’s buried at Fort Scott (National Cemetery),” she said. Then, “my husband (John) died April 14, 2016.”
“Now this,” Glukowsky lamented. The large limb crashed down through the middle of the car’s top, causing significant damage.
On top of all her other setbacks, Glukowsky said she wasn’t sure how she was going to get to work, declining to say where she is employed.
City crews do not aid homeowners in such instances, said Corey Schinstock, assistant city manager, due to liability issues.
Crews would have removed the limbs from the street, however, if requested.
