we spoke to the victim's son yesterday who said his father would periodically stay at epps' home. he said the two got into an argument about a woman that quickly escalated. >> my dad made a lot of folks at other people's expense. there was never any hostility. it was more like he'd point out the uncomfortable truths. police so far are saying little about the investigation. the exact charges against epps hs not been announced. as the storm moves in, work will continue to remove this huge tree that toppled into an apartment building in berkeley. the 50-foot tree fell over about 3:30 yesterday afternoon. fortunately no one was hurt. there are reports of a few branches damaging cars. one person we talked to described the crash as feeling like an earthquake. one city staffer suspects wind was the cause. more sign of that, laura, in santa cruz as well. strong winds and rain took down large trees there in the santa
