A large tree in Bay Minette was no match for the high winds, and a family is lucky no one was hurt when that tree came crashing down onto their home.
We spoke to one of the homeowners, who says he was sleeping when it happened. He heard a clap of thunder at 1:30 a.m., heard more thunder and then a crash.
The big tree is resting on the house and caused extensive damage to the roof and interior. There was major damage done to the guest room where grandchildren sleep when they visit. Thankfully, they weren’t here when this happened. Bay Minette firefighters and police officers helped to put a tarp onto the roof of this home after high winds toppled the tree.
