Tobin Seletsky says it's what didn't happen that she remembers about the giant tree that came crashing into her home and driveway during this week's storm.

"My boys had been playing out in the front yard just a little earlier, but they were in the basement when it happened," she said Saturday morning, as she photographed the debris.

Seletsky was on the phone with her sister about 6:30 Thursday evening, her husband Paul asleep upstairs, when she noticed the lights go out, then heard a loud boom, followed by the sounds of breaking glass as the branches smashed into a window on the front of the Seletsky home at 18 Woodland Road.

The tree bounced off of another large tree in the Seletsky front yard, deflecting it to the right and sparing most of the house, except for the one window. But her almost-new Mini-Cooper was not as fortunate. A large chunk of wood was still sticking out of the mangled front left fender Saturday and a side window was smashed and the roof pushed in.

Seletsky said she and her husband got their children and the family dog out a back door, carefully avoiding downed power and utility lines.

The Millburn fire and police departments arrived "in no time," she said, and helped move the downed lines and some of the debris.

As of Saturday morning, all utilities were restored "except for Verizon" and two Verizon trucks were parked outside at the time. But cleaning up all of the wood from the fallen tree will take a while longer.
