An overnight storm sent a pole onto a fire truck and a tree into three houses in one southwest Atlanta neighborhood.
Rosie Gray, who has lived on White Oak Avenue for nine years, said Friday she saw a wire catch fire in the tree before her roof caved in.
“I had just laid down, and I heard something crumbling,” she told The Atlanta Journal-Constitution.
Gray called 911 and dispatchers sent a fire crew to the scene.
About 15 minutes after firefighters arrived, a pole came down on the fire truck, Gray said.
“And the next thing I know, the whole tree was down and that roof is in my bedroom window,” she said.
Although Gray escaped the wreckage, she was hit in the head by an unknown object sent flying from her bedroom dresser.
No other injuries have been reported in the incident.
