"My wife heard the crash and looked out, and the tree, which was two trees in one, had fallen on not only one bus, but two buses at the same time," one neighbor said. "Fortunately, everybody was OK. Both bus drivers got out. There were no children...thank God."

Strong winds are believed to be responsible for the tree coming down.
