A tree crashed through a Gloucester County home as a storm brought in heavy rain and powerful winds Wednesday afternoon.
The tree fell on top of a home on the 200 block of West Olive Street in Westville, ripping down power lines and crushing the top floor.
Witnesses told NBC10 it sounded like a car accident.
“Well I was in my room on the Internet and all of a sudden I heard the wind rip through the neighborhood,” said Stacy Soltys. “When that happened I heard a loud crash. It was pretty jarring. I jumped up. I looked outside and I saw what I saw.”
No one was inside the home at the time and no one was hurt during the incident. Officials say the home is currently unsafe to occupy. Several homes on the block are also without power.
