Rodney and Sabrina Crawford panicked when the tree in their front yard came crashing into their new house, hitting their cars on the way down. The pair said they were working on repairs for the home, which they say they purchased two weeks ago, to make it eligible for homeowners insurance. They hadn't finished yet.
The pair provided FOX 5 with photos. It appears the bulk of the damage was done when a thick branch split from the trunk. Pieces of the roof and inner ceiling were knocked down.
Their niece, Amber Miller, began a GoFundMe asking for loved ones to help out with the expected costs.
