Part Of Large Tree Falls On, Damages Cupertino Home; None Injured

CUPERTINO (CBS SF) -- No one was injured, but a house on Newsom Lane in Cupertino sustained serious damage when a large bough of a tree broke off and fell on the house early Sunday morning, the Santa Clara County Sheriff's Office said.

The bough that fell was, essentially, half of a large tree - about 10 feet in diameter. The bough itself was three to four feet in diameter, and about 50 feet long, said sheriff's Deputy Mike Low.

There were people--the homeowner and his kids--in the house when the tree landed on it at about 1:40 a.m. Sunday, Low said, but no one was injured.

The San Jose Fire Department also responded to the scene.
