The tree, estimated to weigh around 50 tonnes, was brought down on December 7 as the region battled high winds in the storm.
It fell into the gardens of two properties on Radford Lane in Lower Penn, including Peter Scarrott's.
Mr Scarrott was in his bedroom on the evening it happened and described hearing the "horrendous" sounds of the storm, which also ripped the roof off his home.
It wasn't until the next morning however that the 80-year-old discovered the large tree had been brought down.
Recalling the night of the storm, Mr Scarrott told the Express & Star: "It was so windy, it ripped the roof off, it was like a train - a hell of a noise.
