While the homes appear to have escaped any major damage, a dog house was right in the tree's path. One family's dog was inside, trapped.
Crews had to cut the tree into sections to get the dog out. After opening a big enough hole, a firefighter was able to reach in and pull the dog out.
The dog appeared OK and was immediately reunited with its worried family.
Exactly why the tree fell is unclear.
