Tree Crashes Into Naugatuck Home as Storm Sweeps Region
Dark clouds and heavy rain pummel Naugatuck.
A tree crashed into a Hillside Avenue home Thursday evening during a massive storm that swept through the borough Thursday evening.
No one was injured, however the tree remains on the roof of the 386 Hillside Ave. home. Samantha Ward, daughter of homeowner Cathy Young-Ward, said she was inside when the tree landed on the roof.
Ward said she went upstairs to a second floor porch to make a phone call toward the back of the house. At that time, the tree landed on the side of the house and forced the couch to fly across the room, she said.

Hanks said there were no injuries or other major incidents.
