One person was inside at the time with his dog.

"I heard a crash and the whole house vibrated. I looked outside and I saw the tree hit the house and it's a total mess," homeowner Mike Donvio told CBS2.

Luckily, no one was hurt in the accident. Donvio believes a strong gust of wind may have caused the giant tree to fall.
