  • A house in St Clair Shores, Michigan, was severely damaged when a tree fell on it during a storm.

  • No injuries were reported, but the damage to the house was extensive.
  • The seller, Martin Ender, is expected to bear the financial burden of the repairs, as the damage happened before the new owner fully took possession.
