According to Denise, the homeowner, she and her family were watching TV when they suddenly heard a loud crack outside. 

As they suspected, a large tree had fallen on the home and their car. 

Fortunately, no one was injured, but understandably frightened. 

"We've been living here for over 40 years," Denise said. "We've called the City a couple of times for them to come and trim it, so we knew it was an old tree, we just didn't expect it to fall on the house."
