The American Red Cross is providing temporary shelter for the family.

UPPER DEERFIELD TWP. -- A family of six was displaced after a tree fell into their home overnight, according to the American Red Cross.

The family of two adults and four kids had just gone to bed when high winds sent a large tree crashing into their Centerton Road home, Red Cross spokeswoman Laura Steinmetz reported.

No injuries were reported in the incident.

Red Cross officials met with the family and are providing temporary lodging, Steinmetz said.

Winds gusting as high as 60 mph toppled trees and power lines in several areas around the state today.

The winds are believed to have brought down a tree on power lines in Millville this morning, touching off a fire that destroyed a church.
