 Officials in New Jersey this weekend are warning Americans to be aware of the trees near their homes after a powerful storm blew over an oak tree in Tenafly, New Jersey Saturday. Tenafly Mayor Mark Zenas says it's a good idea to check on big trees near houses periodically so they don't become liabilities during strong summer storms like that one. If a tree is dangerous, it should be taken down. The family were inside the home at the time of the accident but miraculously escaped with no injuries.
