a branch fell from a tree onto a roof causing leaks

The north state of California was hit hard with heavy rains and 50MPH winds. A  customer called in and reported a tree branch had fell and hit his roof, causing a hole that allowed water to penetrate into the attic and eventually through the ceiling and into the living room. SERVPRO of South Shasta County's emergency response team was on the scene right away and tarped off the roof, preventing more water from getting in the home. Due to heavy winds the tarp blew off the house. SERVPRO was notified and again sent a crew out the same day. The crew then came in with blowers and a dehumidifier to try and get water out of the air and floor, this helped mitigate the moisture in the affected area.
