The early morning wind split off part of a cedar tree that fell on two houses in the 100 block of NW 78th Street at about 3 a.m.
A Seattle Fire Department crew had the street taped off to traffic, as the downed tree is resting on power lines.
Al and Jenny, who live in the house you can sort of see in this picture, said everyone is OK. Al said they heard “a crack and a crash. I thought it was lightning.”
They obviously weren’t too happy about the situation, but “as long as no one was hurt. That’s the important thing,” Al said.
A KING news crew arrived just as I was leaving and they might have better pictures since their camera has a light on it.
Thanks, Silver, for the tip!
Update 8:45 a.m.: Here’s what the two houses look like this morning.
Crews were busy cutting up the tree on the house on the right.
