High Winds Knock Tree Into Home

One Lubbock family is lucky there's still a roof over their heads tonight, after high winds knocked a tree into their home.
 
Yesterday afternoon, Roy Rodriguez says he sent his grandkids inside when it was getting too windy.  Less than half an hour later, two large trees came crashing down...one of them crushing the awning to his house.  While there is some damage to the roof, he's thankful everyone is okay.

"My first thing was to get my grandkids out of the house and my wife and my daughter because I didn't know if it would cave that house in you know.  But I got them out and other than that, everything was alright."
