Child injured after tree crashes onto North Bay home

A 3-year-old Guerneville child was taken to the hospital early Wednesday with a minor injury after a fierce windstorm sent a tree crashing down onto their home, according to authorities.

The child went to the hospital as a precaution, said Cyndi Foreman, division chief fire marshal with the Sonoma County Fire District.

Theirs was one of two homes damaged by the fallen tree in the 17000 block of Highway 116. Neither home is now occupiable.

Three vehicles also were destroyed by the large tree, which also downed power lines.

Emergency crews say trees fell across Sonoma County overnight due to the high winds. It was not immediately clear if other homes were damaged.
