ATLANTA — A large tree fell on an elderly woman's home in northwest Atlanta.

The woman's son said they were both inside the home on Arcadia Circle when the tree came crashing down Friday around 9 p.m.

"You hear 'vroom.' The house shakes, you know," Thomas Turner said.

The tree damaged the roof, some windows and a few awnings.
