High winds topple tree onto dorm building, injuring WWU student
Q13 s Steve Kiggins reports.
BELLINGHAM, Wash. - One student at Western Washington University was injured only slightly Tuesday night when high winds tossed a tree onto a student housing building in Bellingham.
It happened before 9:00 p.m. at the Fairhaven residence buildings on campus. Students say branches pierced the roof leaving a mess inside a dorm room.
The National Weather Service recorded more than 40 mile-per-hour gusts in the region around the same time.
This is just a portion of the giant tree that made an unwelcome entry into a university dorm room last night.
