LIVERPOOL, N.Y. -- A home owner in Liverpool is thankful his home was spared from damage after a large tree fell in his front yard. Leo Williams said the wind knocked down a 60 foot tree in front of his Riverdale Drive home around 2:00 a.m. Monday.

Damage was limited to just one vehicle in his driveway.

"I think we're very lucky that the tree didn't come down on top of the house. It came close. It did hit my wife's car. And, we'll deal with the insurance on that. I'm just glad no one got hurt and it didn't land on the house,” said Leo Williams, a Liverpool resident.

Williams told us he was surprised he never lost power throughout the morning.

Also in Liverpool, a few large branches on an old tree came down on top of power lines blocking off a portion of 5th Street near Oswego Street.

Many homeowners in the area were left without power for several hours. Thankfully, no homes were damaged by the tree.
