Storms caused a large tree to fall over and block a residential street in Kansas City, Kansas.

The tree was 25 to 30 feet long and crossed the entirety of Ohio Avenue near 6th Street.

City crews used chainsaws to cut the tree up and then removed the pieces with a dump truck.

Crews said the tree was on top of a cable wire.

When Time Warner cable workers showed up, they said the line looked a little low.

The street has reopened.
