California home has boulder smash through it.
I like what the newsperson on the video asks, "Now how do they get the 6-ton boulder out?" :-)

VISTA, Calif. -- A boulder the size of a car came crashing through a home in Vista Tuesday.

The incident happened around 11 a.m. in the 1500 block of Brengle Way, according to authorities.

"I'm not good at guesstimating, but six tons or so," Vista Fire Capt. Jay Ackerman said of the boulder.

2. I'd be tempted to leave it there and patch the walls around it.
That's some kind of awesome living room furniture.

3. That's what I was thinking too.
"Where'd you get that lovely rock?"

"Oh, it just dropped in..."

4. A similar thing happened to a home in
Telluride Colorado a few years back. Their homeowners insurance (Farmers, to be exact...been there, done that, bastards) refused to pay for damages! That was then, not sure how it turned out but I do know it was 4 years in when I heard about it.

I am glad everyone is okay and hope their insurance does the right thing.
