Tree Nearly Falls on 1967 Dodge

Noris Preis of Sproul awoke Monday morning, April 13, to find that the 1967 Dodge Valaria he is restoring was nearly damaged by a fallen tree. Pries said the tree, which he estimated to be approximately 100 years old, was toppled by high winds sometime after midnight Monday morning. Pries, who lives in the house he grew up in, said he heard some cracks and crazy sounds at approximately 2 a.m. Monday but never gave it a thought that the tree next to his car had toppled over from the winds.His wife told him Monday morning that the tree had just missed the Dodge.
