Storm knocks down tree on Warren Street, damaging home and car
Last night. Allison Watson said in the midst of a wind, rain and lightning storm she heard a boom and then the front of her house filled with brown smoke. When she walked to the side of her house, she wasn't surprised at what she found.
Part of a giant tree in her neighbor's yard had fallen into her home at 14 Warren St.
"I called it," Watson said. "I knew it was going to fall on my house. It was only a matter of time."
Watson said she believes the tree was diseased.
Watson, a 15-year-resident of Warren Street, said it's the second time a branch fell on her property. The first time was a couple of years ago during an ice storm and the branch destroyed her garage.
This time, her car was damaged, but she doesn't know how extensively.
Work crews were on their way this morning to remove the debris.
There were no injuries, Watson said, not even to her pet bird, whose feathers were a little ruffled when its cage was damaged, but is otherwise OK.
