A 150-year-old tree partially fell on a home in Coronado, which one neighbor called a “pretty big event.”
The large, fallen tree was reported at around 9:45 p.m. at 1517 Ynez St. A limb of the tree also fell on a home next door.
Two people and their dog were sleeping in an upstairs room when the tree struck the edge of their house. No injuries were reported, Coronado police said.
The noise of the tree falling didn’t only startle the residents.
“(It sounded like a) loud, loud crack,” said neighbor Pat Starke. “A lot of rustling, and then it was pretty quiet.”
Starke told NBC 7 the tree was home to “several nests of cranes and a murder of crows.”
“Not sorry the crows are gone, but I am going to miss the birds,” he said.
Local
Police, firefighters, and San Diego Gas and Electric responded to the scene. SDG&E cut off power to the home, just to be safe.
A city employee told NBC 7 the tree was roughly 150 years old.
“It’s an old tree. These things happen,” Starke said.
