Tree falls on Gwinnett Co. home

By Andrew Spencer

A homeowner in Lawrenceville has a lot to clean up after a tree fell into a house on Willow Wood Way during Wednesday's storm.

Nobody was hurt, but it the damage was bad enough that the tree could be seen from inside the house.

"(The tree) punched through the roof and damaged the ceiling inside the home," says Captain Tommy Rutledge with the Gwinnett County Department of Fire and Emergency Services.

Rutledge says crews checked to make sure there were no fires, no wires, and no gas leaks as a result of the storm.
