Giant Eucalyptus Tree Topples Onto Pinole Home

PINOLE, CA — Years of drought have weakened or killed millions of trees in California. Now those trees are a danger to people and homeowners with the ground saturated from back-to-back storms.

A soaring eucalyptus tree fell onto a Pinole home over the weekend, in the 800 block of Pinole Valley Road. The tree wasn't even on the homeowner's property.

The good news is that no one was hurt.

The home, however, sustained significant damage.
