"(He) looked out the window and he said, 'Yeah guys, I think it's going to come down this time,'" said Nancy. "The noise was unbelievable."
WBZ-TV's Paul Burton reports.
The Sweeney's said they weren't sure what do do next.
"We ran around like mice in a maze and we ran for the door. We didn't know whether to go into the basement, the door, we have a dog. So, we just ran to the door and we ran outside. The neighbors all came over to see if we were OK," said Nancy.
Michael later took time to assess the damage to his home.

"The tree is actually in the attic, (which is) getting a lot of water. It's coming down into the back bedroom right into the basement. It's flowing pretty good," said Michael.
No one was hurt.
