In Cobb County Georgia, a 70-foot, red oak tree split the roof of a home on Sugar Creek Drive, off Powder Springs Road, near Marietta, around 3:30 p.m., according to Lt. Dan Dupree with the Cobb fire department. Neighbors called 911, but were unable to help the women before firefighters arrived.

James O’Neal told Channel 2 Action News he could see the women, but couldn’t get to them.

“The whole tree was laying across their legs,” O’Neal said.

Firefighters were able to rescue the two women, whose names were not released. One was more seriously injured and was flown to a hospital. The second was transported by ambulance for treatment.
