December 13 wind storm

High winds and saturated ground toppled a tree onto a home in on 241st. Ave. SE in Sammamish at 6:30 a.m. this morning just barely missing Sharon Christiansen and her grandson Sean, 11 months, by a few feet. Sharon was taken to the hospital for stitches to her head from falling debris from the impact. "When it hit, I went screaming into the living room looking for my son who was completely covered with insulation. He was still sound asleep snuggled up on the couch but believe me it was not fun hunting for that baby" said his mom, Rima Edmonds.
