Authorities responded to a rescue call at the house along South Mountain Avenue just before 7:30 p.m. Wednesday. Despite extensive damage to the building, no one suffered injuries. It's not clear what caused the tree to fall, authorities said, so that remains under investigation.

On Thursday morning, aerial footage shot around 7:30 a.m. showed the tree resting over the house and a van in its driveway, levelling out the home. The tree's trunk was completely uprooted from the ground, with its roots fully exposed.

A stretch of Mountain Avenue between Foothill Boulevard and Wildrose Avenue remained closed Thursday morning.

No other details have been released by authorities.
