BAINBRIDGE, Ga. (WTXL) - A Bainbridge man who lived in a house for more than two years will probably remember Sunday morning forever.

"When I got the storm warning I didn't think anything of it," William Keaton said. "The rain was falling, I said well it'll blow over."

And it did, taking some trees in its path.

"The next thing I heard crackling then the tree went 'wham!' "

He says it happened around 6:30 a.m. Sunday.

The storm winds knocked a tree over and totaled his car.

"I was planning on moving yesterday, and I didn't get to it," he said. "So now it's right here. When it hit it, I said it's gone."

Keaton says he immediately called police, and now he just feels relieved.

"it could've been worse but we are just lucky the wind blew that way," he said. "We can get another one of those, but you can't get another one of me."
