July 28 (UPI) -- A Tennessee man shooting video of a damaged tree predicted that "it's gonna fall tonight" mere seconds before the huge tree came crashing down.

Keith Young filmed footage of a tree Thursday night on Suck Creek Road in Hamilton County after noticing the damaged tree was likely to fall.

Young says in the video that he called 911 to report the tree was likely to strike some power lines.

"it's gonna fall tonight, I'm sure," Young says in the video.

He remarks that he would like to move his trailer, which is parked next to the tree, but he is concerned about the tree falling on him while in the process.

Before Young finishes his thought, a snapping noise rings out and the tree comes crashing down to earth -- directly on top of his trailer.

"Well, I'm glad I didn't step under there and get that trailer," Young says.
