Storm Eowyn: The incident happened on the driveway of a property on Windermere Road, Stockton on Friday (January 24) afternoon.
A homeowner has told of his shock after a huge tree crashed into his house earlier today (Fri) during Storm Eowyn. Richard Dunn, 58, says he was in his living room when he heard a sudden crash and he saw a large tree come through his window. The incident was caused by strong winds from Storm Eowyn - as flights have been cancelled, schools have been shut and thousands have been told to stay home because of the bad weather. Richard said: "It was a glancing blow on the side of the building, just a crack, crack of the tree falling." Richard has lived at the property on Knoll Park Drive in Baildon, West Yorks., since 2007 but only decorated his living room a year ago. He has contacted his insurance company and is now waiting for an assessor to come out. There is another large tree right next to Richard's house and he's worried that might collapse onto his property too. One neighbour, who is also concerned about the same tree, said: "We're going to have to contact the council and start looking at removing trees close to properties."
