At least one county resident is resting easier tonight after a 40-foot tall tilting tree was uprooted and placed safely on the ground.

“I feel much safer now,” said Victor Soltero, whose home is situated across the alley from where the tree once stood. Before it was removed, the tree leaned as if it would fall directly onto Soltero’s home if it were to fall.

A partially uprooted tree has a Cochise County enclave resident too worried to sleep in his home, while a utility provider said the tree poses no immediate threat.

Between 4th and 5th streets south of Tacoma Street in Sierra Vista, a 40-foot tree tilts precariously above the alley separating the backyards of residents, warping a chain link fence under its weight and touching the guide lines of nearby power poles.
