Teen Girl Narrowly Avoids Tree That Crashed Into Bathroom

From WFTV

ALTAMONTE SPRINGS, Fla. -- Thunderstorms Thursday night and early Friday morning may have been a welcome sight for many, but the storms rained down damage on some people.
Lightning shot from the sky in downtown Orlando and, in Altamonte Springs, wind blew towering trees right into people's houses.
At the Moran's San Sebastian home, a massive pine tree fell, causing tremendous damage. Part of the tree ended up in a bathroom.
The 15-year-old who lives there had just stepped out of the shower. The glass door to the shower is now lying in the tub she was standing in.
The pine stood through the hurricanes of 2004, but was toppled by Thursday night's wind gusts.
Still, the residents in the area Eyewitness News talked to are grateful that all they're doing Friday is cleaning up the damage.
Eyewitness News also spotted two other houses in San Sebastian with roof damage.
The Morans said they’re not taking any chances; at least on of the pines in the front yard is going to be removed before it gets a chance to fall.
