FAMILY’S STORY. IT SOUNDED LIKE A MONSTER. THAT’S HOW A TWO-YEAR-OLD LITTLE GIRL DESCRIBED THIS HUGE TREE COMING CRASHING DOWN ON HER HOME AS SHE WAS INSIDE IN THE EARLY MORNING HOURS. I WAS HERE TODAY AS THE FAMILY ARRIVED FOR THE FIRST TIME TO SEE THE DAMAGE IN DAYLIGHT 2:30 A.M. A LOUD CRASH LIKE A MONSTER SHELBY SIMS. WOKE IMMEDIATELY. I GOT ROSY UP PUT IT ON MY HIP AND I WENT TO THE LIVING ROOM AND STARTED DIGGING HIM OUT. I WAS OUT EXACTLY WHAT SAY ANYTHING. I THOUGHT HE WAS DEAD DEBRIS. RING WHERE ALEX SHAW WAS RESTING. THIS IS ACTUALLY WHERE I WAS LAYING THAT WHATEVER THING HAPPENED. YOU SAID IT ALL FELL ON ME RIGHT HERE THE WHOLE CEILING. IT WAS JUST SEALING INSULATION AND SHEETROCK AND WOOD AND EVERYTHING. YEAH EVERYTHING I WAS ON THAT COUCH SCARY MOMENTS FOR THE PREGNANT. MOM WHO SAYS SHE COULD HAVE BEEN SLEEPING ON THAT RECLINER IN THE DISASTER ZONE TO AFTER THE STRIKE. THEY ALL HURRIED OUT. I THOUGHT SPLIT ACROSS THE TOP OF THE WAL YOU JUST AND THAT’S WHAT I WENT OUT EXITING THROUGH A WINDOW LEAVING MANY DESTROYED SENTIMENTAL POSSESSIONS. HIDE, IT’S HEARTBREAKING DEVASTATING, YOU KNOW, BUT THANKFUL. ALL FAMILY IS OKAY. INCLUDING MET ME IN THE LIGHT OF DAY. WE WERE THERE AS EVERYONE REUNITED. I’M SO GLAD SHE’S OKAY. SHE’S SO SHE CRYING YOU HEAR AND AS THEY PICK UP THE PIECES THIS FAMILY WILL PUT TOGETHER A NEW REALITY SAYING THEY CAN’T BELIEVE HOW MUCH LIFE CAN CHANGE OVERNIGHT. IT STILL HASN’T SET IN YET. NO, IT HADN’T BUT THERE’S BETTER TO COME SURPRISINGLY THE FAMILY REALLY GOOD SPIRITS TODAY JUST HAPPENS. TO BE ALIVE AND WE ARE SO THANKFUL FOR THAT TOO AND APPRECIATE THEM SHARING THEIR STORY WITH US. A LOT OF PEOPLE IN THIS NEIGHBORHOOD IMPACTED WITH LIMBS AND TREES DOWN ALSO POWER OUT FOR MANY HERE
