BROOKLINE, MASS. (WHDH) - Strong winds overnight knocked a tree down onto a home in Brookline, bringing power lines down with it. In Dorchester, a tree was completely ripped out of the ground.
The downed tree on Russett Street knocked out power. A branch of the tree was smoking after hitting the power lines.
Officials said people inside the home were not injured. They were told to stay inside because it is too unsafe to leave the house. Officials added that the homeowners are lucky that the tree did not go right through the home.
Winds pulled a tree straight from a concrete sidewalk on Cushing Avenue. Just a few feet away, a large tree crashed down a vehicle, leaving the street blocked off.
The strong storm caused delays on several MBTA lines in and out of the city as well.
7News will continue to provide updates on this storm and the damage it is causing.
