Wind Blows Large Tree Onto Home, Causing Heavy Damage
LOVELAND, Colo. (CBS4) - A large cottonwood tree crashed down onto the home of a Loveland family overnight.
A strong wind gust knocked the tree over at approximately 4 a.m. Luckily, no one was seriously hurt.
The home belongs to Travis and Corinna Befus and their 10-week-old daughter Emerly. It's located at 4049 Crawford Court, which is on the city's west side.
Travis, Corinna and Emerly were in bed at the time and so was Corinna's father Roy Wooderson, who was visiting from Alaska.
