San Jose residents came together Tuesday when a tree was inching closer and closer to a home.
A neighborhood came together after they saw a teetering tree inching closer and closer to a home.
“Someone came to the side gate and said, ‘there's a tree out front that's going to fall on your house any minute’ so I got up and got out of the house and haven't been back,” said Julia Sandelman. She said she was working from a room she rents when she heard the fierce winds and saw the tree swaying like never before. Also inside the house was the owner’s son, who was sleeping in the room right beneath the tree.Sign up for NBC Bay Area’s Housing Deconstructed newsletter.
“It was fortunately a disaster, a tragedy, that did not happen,” said San Jose resident Sandy Schmidt. As soon as she got home, Schmidt called the city. She said she had been placed on a waitlist due to the overwhelming number of calls they’ve been receiving.
