The people inside that home called the Channel 9 newsroom, and even though they could not go anywhere, they stepped outside to talk about the chaotic moments after the tree fell.
"I was in the shower and I heard something go boom, and I ran out of the shower and I heard my wife screaming in the bedroom and the car alarm going off and I opened up the door and seen the tree had crushed everything," Keister Coleman said.
