"We were in the house, playing Yahtzee, when a tree came down and hit the car," she said. "What can you do? Nobody was hurt, that's the important thing."
The owner of Amazon Tree Services, Daniel De Silva, said his phone has been ringing off the hook since the storm came through.
"Two houses already today we've used the crane, and took the tree from the middle of the house," said De Silva. "I don't know if I'll be able to get everything done today, but I'll try and do my best."
