Event narrative (NOAA)

An 84 year old Pine Forest resident was killed at his residence on Hulett Street by a fallen tree limb. As the man arrived home at his residence and exited a vehicle, a tree limb as large as a car was blown out of a 60 foot tall pine tree and crushed both him and the vehicle.
