Residents in one home on Jackson Avenue in west Huntington are lucky that no one got hurt after a tree and several large branches fell on to their house and truck.
Jimmie Meadows watched the storm approach, which caused transformers to spark and debris to be tossed around. Right before the storm hit, his children were swimming in the pool near the area where the tree fell.
Luckily, everyone was in the house before a tree collapsed on his home and truck, and now it's time to clean up.
