That included a home and two businesses in Sandpoint, which were damaged by falling trees. According to Sandpoint Police, the trees were 75 and 100 feet tall and hit buildings on Second Avenue. One went partially through the second floor of one of the buildings. While the damage was extensive, no injuries were reported from the falling trees.
