Boulder crashes through house, misses woman

29 January 2010 / AP, ROGERSVILLE, TENN.
Emergency officials say a boulder about the size of a compact car crashed into an apartment building, barely missing a woman sleeping in her bedroom.
Fire Chief David Jackson in Rogersville in eastern Tennessee says 75-year-old Elizabeth Allred was lucky that the 10-foot-wide (3-meter-wide) boulder didn’t hit her bed straight on. Instead, it crashed nearby and the imploding wall sent her hospital bed rolling across the room. She was at home recovering from a broken hip when it happened on Monday. Allred told Jackson it felt like a train crashed into her room. Jackson said the boulder broke loose from a bank above the dwelling during recent rains.
