The severe storms that ripped through our area have now moved on, but now people are dealing with what they left in their path.
Uprooted trees and downed power lines are all over the place at Jenny Wiley State Park, one of the hardest hit areas from the storm. Though there were no injuries, witnesses say the weather made for a crazy night at the park.
Crews started at 6am Sunday morning to continue clearing trees, but they say last night, some roads were completely blocked.
"It seemed like forever, it probably lasted 5, 10 minutes. These high wind shears come right through and snapping the tops of trees out. It was pretty rough for those 15 minutes. It was pretty intense," said Ty Lindon, Assistant Park Manager.
During the storm, fallen trees landed right on top of the park's old pro shop.
"We had a pine tree that snapped about 30 feet up and the top of the pine tree's laying on the roof. We have a hole in the roof on two different locations," Lindon said.
Many boaters were on the water when the storm hit. They say the wind and rain came so fast, they didn't have time to get out of harm's way.
"I told my niece just hang on, it's going to hurt a little bit because the rain will sting us, but we're going to try and make it in and we got in the rain, it was just too painful. The rain was blowing, we couldn't see," said Janette Jude.
One boater heading back to the dock during the storm says he could barely steer against the wind, wind so powerful, it blew the glass right out of the boat's window.
"We were walking after we got through here and there was a tree over the road where no one could go through and they didn't clear it until late last night," said Seth Jerrell.
A number of smaller boats came loose from the dock during the storm and drifted away from the marina, so many other boaters spent the evening bringing the boats back to the dock.
Lindon says they plan to check walking trails by foot for downed trees starting on Monday.
