A massive tree toppled onto a house in Beaver County while the family slept Thursday night, leaving the homeowner shocked

“My step-son [came] running out saying the tree fell, I thought the Christmas tree fell,” says Robert Brickner, who lives in the 2000 block of Sixth Avenue in Beaver Falls. Brickner went outside and found the 80-foot silver maple tree toppled over into his house damaging his bathroom, a bedroom, the roof and porch.

The fire department told Brickner it was raining when the tree came down and a large gust of wind may be to blame.

Fortunately, there are no reported injuries.
