The tornados hit southeastern Wake and Johnston counties around 9 p.m.
The epicenter of the damage happened in a neighborhood on Trebor Drive near Cross Pointe Lane. One house sustained partial roof damage with a couple of windows broken and trees down. No injuries or fatalities were reported.
Resident Scott Woolard said he was out of town when the storm hit, but came home right away when his daughter told him how the heavy wind and rain tore through their property. The twister left behind piles of wood and broken trees.
"Blew the … tree down on top of the barn and tore the barn out, tore the playhouse up and tore the swing set out," he said. "Probably cost $2,000 to $3,000 [in damages]."
His neighbor said it sounded like a freight train as the tornado rolled through.
After a tornado, make sure to check the condition of your roof and work with your insurance company and check the list of roofing companies in Marietta to fix any issues.
If a tree fell on your roof, stay out of your home until a professional can determine whether any structural damage occurred. If your home suffered serious damage, consider the services of licensed roofing contractors in Marietta like Roof Roof, a full service home improvement company that will help you determine if you need more than roof repairs.
