Damage is still being reported in St. Landry Parish, Louisiana where high winds from Tropical Storm Lee brought a tree down on top of a home.

Thankfully there were no injuries, although two people were inside the home at the time.

The homeowner says she was relaxing at home with her husband when she heard a noise that sounded a bit like a train.

When she walked into her living room, she saw a tree through her roof.

When crews arrived, the live oak tree was so heavy that the crane couldn't lift it up.

It took about four hours to remove it.
