NORTHWEST MIAMI-DADE, FL : 9-year-old safe after tree crashes through apartment during storm on Sunday, 8th November, 2020

Tenants at a small Miami apartment building are spending the night out of their home after Tropical Storm Eta’s wind and rain snapped a tree in half and sent the top half plummeting through a roof.

Mae Frierson lives in one of the units in the multi-family unit along Northwest 4th Court near 69th Street. Her 9-year-old grandson was having dinner when the tree came crashing down and into the apartment and a ceiling fan fell within inches of the boy.

“It sounded like a car ran into something,” Frierson said.
