60-Foot Tree Smacks House in Windstorm

No injuries were reported in the incident during Saturday's high winds.

A house in the 2000 block of West Pueblo was damaged and lost power during Saturday's gusty windstorm, when a rotted-out cedar tree toppled onto the structure shortly after noon.

The 60-foot tree knocked down both power and telephone lines and damaged the house, its roof and a fence.

Firefighters from Napa Station 3 and a city tree crew responded to the incident, in which no injuries were reported.
