MILTON, Fla. — A woman was taken to a hospital by ambulance early Saturday morning after strong winds toppled a tree onto her mobile home, according to a neighbor.
The neighbor, Hermon Williams, lives across the street on Holly Pines Lane, just off Avalon Boulevard south of Highway 90. He said he heard a roar of wind between 5:30 and 6 a.m. that lasted only about 10 seconds.
“I thought there was a tornado coming,” Williams said. “It didn’t last long. Just 10 seconds and it was over.”
He said he later saw fire and EMS crews arrive and place the woman into an ambulance. “I hadn’t seen the inside of the house but they said the inside was messed up pretty bad back where the tree went but maybe she’ll be okay,” he said.
