“When it landed, thunk, shot us up against the ceiling. It still ain’t hit yet, it will take a while. All my stuffs in there. I gotta go in and try get it.”

The family wasn’t hurt but now have to stay in a hotel until they can get the trailer fixed.

The road was closed while crews worked quickly to move the tree and restore power to the neighborhood.
