Huge Fallen Tree on Cook Avenue Damages Home, Three Garages, Cars, Motorcycle

A tree measuring more than 12 feet around fell on Cook Avenue, damaging a home, three garages, three cars and a motorcycle, our news partners at WEWS News Channel 5 report.

The tree fell behind homes on Cook Avenue. When it was uprooted, its roots pried the corner of a garage up to a 45-degree angle, as seen in the WEWS video.

No major storm preceded the fallen tree, the station adds, but a wet June could have contributed to the incident.
