COPALIS BEACH, Wash. Monday night's windstorm caused two trees to crash through a mobile home in Copalis Beach.

A father and son were reportedly in the home at the time, neither suffered serious injuries, said Grays Harbor County Emergency Officials.

"That is just terrible, I feel so bad for them," said neighbor Jean Liming.

Liming lives next door. Her home did not suffer any damage.

Liming said around eight Monday night, the eight year old who lives in the damaged home came running to her front door screaming, "My Dad! My Dad! He's under there."

The neighbor said the boy's father was trapped beneath the trees. She said the man was able to get out from under the trees thanks to her son calling the police.

Shingles blew off the roof of the Ocean Shores Fire Hall, forcing the department to move it's trucks out of the garage.

The storm knocked power out to thousands overnight.
