A 35-year old woman who died after a large oak tree fell onto her Ukiah home had feared the tree for months according to her family the AP reports.
Erika Tyler was killed on Saturday after a massive tree fell onto her house. Tyler's boyfriend was sleeping next to her, but was able to escape with his 3-year-old son.
Connie Tyler, Erika's mother told the Santa Rosa Press Democrat that her daughter had told her landlord about the tree, and asked to have it removed. The landlord refused, saying it was too expensive.
