Building Tried To Kill My M5

I park my M5 just outside of my office on a daily basis. Im usually the first person in the building so I get my space daily. Today that almost turned into a serious problem.

Im sitting with one of my techs in a meeting when we hear a loud bang and clattering from just outside my window. We both hop up to take a look and see nothing. Until I see it, something large and flat lying in front of my car.



Its been very windy here in Va and a panel from a roof top air handling unit about 3' on a side and about 20LBS detached from its home and took flight.
I get outside and see what it is and begin looking for damage to my car, thankfully I find nothing wrong! I put the metal piece (corner is all smashed) in the grass outside my office window and move my car to the alternate lot across the street.

That was a frightening moment, I just got the car last Wednesday!

Hope you had a change of shorts in your trunk. I would have had to put my heart back in my chest after that.
