Well, actually, it wasn't even that stormy till later, but it was dark when Mr. D went to pick Beth up at Grace Church last night. She called from her cell phone a little before 9:00pm with the word that a deer had hit the car. That's right, a deer came out of the dark and leaped at the Honda. Right by the West Bloomington Post Office on Old Shakopee Road! Driver and passenger were safe. Praise God. Who knows about the deer? They never saw it! Odd, but true, since it happened so fast.
Damage to the car: $3,600
Having the horrible thought at about 11:00pm that it might not have been a deer, but a person that was hit and heading out to the driveway in bathrobes with a flashlight to make sure it was deer "fur" and not human hair on the left front light: Priceless

Car + deer = not fun
I hit a deer when I was 15 and still only had my permit. My mom was with me and neither of us saw it until after we hit it. It was about $2000 to repair. The car wasn't worth much more than that but we opted to repair. I should scan those picture.
Thanks for the blog comments, I needed a little blogger reinforcement!
wow! Glad to hear everyone is alright.

Besides being horrifying, maybe everyone would be better drivers if they hit a deer at 15!
Actually, that must have been very traumatic. Glad no one was hurt.
Sorry about that, but thankful no one was hurt. Just the other night as I drove into the Bethany driveway, I kept thinking deer, deer, deer and looked over at the lawn behind the barn where I've seen them before. Just then, a deer ran FAST a few feet in front of my car and it scared me even though I was thinking about deer at that moment.
I' so sorry to hear that, but thankful no one was hurt. Just the other night when I drove into the Bethany driveway, I kept thinking, "deer, deer, deer" and was looking off toward the barn when a deer ran very fast a few feet in front of my car. Even though I was thinking about 'deer' just then, it still scared me!
