What started out as a dry, sunny day, took a sudden turn late afternoon Sunday when a thunderstorm started to roll through the Portland metro area.

In the back yard of a Lake Oswego home, wind brought a tree down during a Father’s Day gathering.

Ed Allen said he was manning the barbecue at Nancy Sanchez’s home on Tualata Avenue when a branch came down. He and 15 other people took that as a cue to get inside. Then they watched from inside as the 85-foot tall tree fell toward them, crushing the grill but just barely missing the home.

Nobody was hurt. The group took it in stride and ordered pizza, using the downed tree as a bench to eat their meal.
