DAVIS, California (KCRA) — A massive tree fell onto a Davis home during Sunday’s high winds, leaving a homeowner along Beech Lane shaken and her property damaged.
Cynthia Kellogg, the homeowner, said she immediately realized what had happened.
“I immediately saw the branches in the window and then I knew. I had heard a tree fall before when I lived in another town, so I immediately put it together and I started crying because I knew it was the tree, so I ran out like, ‘oh, it’s a tree and yes, indeed it was across the driveway,'” Kellogg said.
The loss of the 60-year-old tree brought mixed emotions for Kellogg, especially after it tore through other plants on her property.
“It’s hard to feel lucky right now, I think given what could happen absolutely,” Kellogg said. “You know what else I feel? I feel afraid of trees now. There was a woman killed by a tree in Davis about two years ago and every time I look at the trees, I go ‘I need to walk away.”
Monday afternoon, crews worked to clear up the tree from the driveway.
While there was no major damage, Kellogg said she will need to repair the gutters and fix the holes punched through her roof by the fallen tree.
The city of Davis reported receiving more than 100 calls related to the high winds.
