Large Tree Bough Crashes Into Cupertino House: SCC Sheriff's
No one was injured when a 10-foot-wide branch off a tree tumbled into a house on Newsom Lane in Cupertino Sunday: Santa Clara Co Sheriff's.
CUPERTINO, CA — 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.
