JACKSON, Miss. (WJTV) – Two families escape after a huge tree falls on top of their homes.

It happened Tuesday around 5 a.m. on Queensroad Avenue in Jackson.

A homeowner tells us he was walking outside when the tree in his front yard fell on his house and his neighbor’s home. The man says he got his girlfriend and two dogs out of his home safely.

His neighbor’s house was also damaged. We’re told a woman and her four family members also got out of that house okay.

At least three cars were damaged when the tree fell.

There were a few power lines down in the area. We’re told Entergy crews did come to the scene.

Jackson firefighters and police responded to that scene to check things out and make sure everyone was okay.
