One of the tree limbs penetrated the roof and went right through the kitchen ceiling and floor into the basement.

Firefighters secured the utilities to reduce the risk of fire, and the Building Department was called to inspect the home.

The house sustained significant damage, and contractors were seen working to remove the tree on Friday afternoon.
