Valley Residents Feel Fury of Friday Storm

Posted: Updated:

Neighborhoods in Waynesboro are cleaning up from Friday's severe  and deadly weather. Downed trees took power lines along with them and at the Kenmore Park Apartments in Waynesboro, a tree crashed through the roof.     

People living there were evacuated and are waiting for the all-clear to return. Mattie and Kris Gilday had to bunk up with relatives last night after a tree crashed through their unit.

"They have to check the power lines and the electrical lines and the gas lines and stuff so we don't know," said Mattie.      

A clean-up company finished removing the trees from the building Saturday.  

A few miles away, April Hurt is still trying to figure out how she's going get a massive tree out of yard and fix a busted car window, knocked out by flying debris.    

"The wind was just howling, brush flying, doll houses, bikes, a little bit of everything," said Hurt.  

Just off the intersection of Northgate and Rosser Avenues, downed trees and power lines surround a house, knocking out electricity in the neighborhood.    

As the calls for clean-up continue to come in, crews are ready for a long busy weekend of recovery in the Shenandoah Valley.
