Sierra Madre neighborhood forced to shelter in place as crews try to cut down an uprooted tree.
A large pine tree that appeared to be partially uprooted was leaning heavily on power lines in the Sierra Madre area Monday and threatening some homes.
Sierra Madre police officers responded and used their public-address system to alert homes on the Vista Circle block and addresses on Alta Vista Drive to evacuate. The tree was sitting at about a 45-degree angle around 9 a.m. The tree was threatening at least one house across the street on Vista Circle Drive. The tree took down a fence but was not completely toppled over Monday morning.
