MORNING. ANDREA. HI YOU GUYS. WELL, I’M GOING TO SHOW YOU SOME OF THE REMNANTS HERE. THIS IS SOME OF THE DEBRIS AND A LOT OF THE THINGS THAT WE’VE BEEN SEEING ALL AROUND UNDERWOOD IS A LOT OF SNAP DOWN TREES. BUT I WANT TO SHOW YOU SOME OF THE WORST DAMAGE THAT WE SAW HERE TODAY. AND THIS IS AT A HOME HERE ON HENRIETTA ROAD IN UNDERWOOD, JUST TAKE A LOOK AT THIS. THIS IS SOMEONE’S BACKYARD. BUT WHAT’S SITTING ON THIS TREE IS THE ROOF OF THEIR YARD. AND I SPOKE WITH THE OWNER. HE SAYS THAT HE’S LIVED HERE SINCE 1996. THIS WAS ACTUALLY HIS FIRST HOME. HE SAYS HE’S NEVER LIVED ANYWHERE ELSE IN HIS ADULT LIFE. AND HE’S VERY SHAKEN UP ABOUT IT. HE SAID HE DIDN’T WANT TO REALLY TALK TO US ON CAMERA RIGHT NOW BECAUSE HE’S IT’S JUST HE’S HEARTBROKEN ABOUT THIS BECAUSE THE INSIDE OF HIS HOME IS ALSO SO NOT LIVABLE. HE NEEDS TO GO TO A HOTEL EVENTUALLY. AND NOW THE NATIONAL WEATHER SERVICE SAYS THAT PEAK WINDS WERE UP TO NINE MILES PER HOUR. AND THERE WERE ALSO STRAIGHT LINE WINDS DAMAGE. NOW, THE STORM TORE THROUGH ABOUT A LITTLE BEFORE FIVE THIS MORNING, AND I SPOKE WITH SOME OTHER NEIGHBORS WHO SAID EVERYTHING HAPPENED SO FAST. AND WHEN DAYLIGHT HIT, THEY WERE SHOCKED BY THE DAMAGE. SO YOU DON’T NORMALLY WAKE UP AT 430 IN THE MORNING ON FEBRUARY THE 10TH FOR A SEVERE THUNDERSTORM WARNING. IT WAS REALLY SURPRISING. UH, DEFINITELY DIDN’T EXPECT THAT TO BE COMING THROUGH LAST NIGHT. SO I THINK WE’RE ALL JUST TAKING A LITTLE BIT OF BACK. AND COMING UP AT 11, YOU’LL HEAR MORE FROM THOSE NEIGHBORS ABOUT THE HARROWING SOUNDS THEY WERE WOKEN UP TO AROUND 5:00 THIS
