well, i was on my way to my g/f's and the weather was terrible, It was snowing and there were wind gusts of about 65 MPH. I was being very careful and i came around this corner. out of no where, this 4 ft tall tree branch blew out in front of me. I had no time to slow down and couldn't swerve b/c the roads had snow on this to i took it head on. The tree branch went under my car and and obviously made some noise. I then went around the next corner and heard something rubbing against the pavement. I got out and the brach was stuck underneath my car. I got the branch out and there were two thin steel beams hanging from under my car. I went to the SHO where i worked and jacked up the car. it doesn't apear that they were bent, it appears the branch ripped off a clamp that must have been holding them on. Does anyone know what Is hanging from underneath my car and what i have to do to fix it. it's not the e-brake cable, it's the two things that look like wires just inside the cable. Anyone know what they are and what i need to do to assure everything is alright. Thanks in advance.

Sounds like your rear brake lines to me. There's two of them, and they are right next to the e-brake cable. Are they intact? (not leaking)

You may have just broke a couple of the black plastic retainers that hold up the lines.
