I'd be getting a prop underneath that displaced roof beam before even thinking about sweeping the floor!

The car can be replaced. I just hope no one was injured when the roof caved in....

Apollo wheels. 19x8 / 19x9

I have always liked that style.

I just had to start laughing out loud with this one. Here we have a partial roof collapse on a car (although damage does not look all that bad) and someone is asking about the style of the wheels--priceless

Not surprising to me. The wheel is the most attractive thing in that picture.

And yeah, I got those on my 04 so I may be slightly opinionated.

"Ooh, Apollos..."

Yep, my first thought too. Followed by, "why are they sweeping when the building is still close to collapsing?" and "a tornado in Boston?".
