A tree was blocking Highway 50 in Zephyr Cove at Warrior Way for a short while Wednesday afternoon.

No vehicles were damaged, according to a Tahoe Douglas fire spokeswoman.

It fell about 3pm Feb. 17. The basin is under a high wind advisory for much of Wednesday.

Crews from the fire station at that corner removed the 40-foot tree.

The conifer was blocking both westbound lanes and part of the east bound lanes. All lanes were expected to be open by 3:30pm.
