They thought it was
over.
Friday night's storm
took its toll on one small community in Roane County.
One man looked out of
his window and saw what he calls a funnel cloud.
Steve Parsons of Maple
Hill says, "We started getting a lot of hail, and then I looked out my front
door and I couldn't even see my rail, which was about six feet from my
door. then the chair went flying right
past the door."
The damage here is
extensive. One trailer has been knocked off of its foundation. Hay bails made
their way off the hillside and through a fence.
People in this community
haven't cleaned up the damage from Friday's storm yet.
Brandon Snider says "There
was damage from Friday night to my house.
I just hadn't got around to fixing it yet because they told us it was
going to come through again. I left it
here and it just of multiplied this evening.
We're doing one mass clean up."
These people say the
only way to get through this is with teamwork.
Here, everyone is
pitching in.
"Everybody was just
in disbelief. Trees down everywhere, but
everyone's living and everyone's safe.
We'll live to clean up another day.
No more for a while," says Snider.
