A summer thunderstorm in Maitland uprooted a massive tree on Minnehaha Circle, crushing a family’s two cars and knocking down a power line.
W, a resident of the home, described the moment the tree fell.
“And at the end of the day, all we heard was and then crash. So this tree, as you guys took a picture. Sorry. You could see where it came from. The root up all the way over, and all of the limbs that have been had spread out there,” W said.
The cars were more than just transportation for the family, as one had already been paid off. Both vehicles were severely damaged.
“Thank God for Uber because that’s how I’m going to go to the grocery store today and all that good stuff,” W said.
The fallen tree also knocked down an overhead power line, which closed the road until Duke Energy crews arrived to clear the area.
W said she was surprised by the extent of the damage caused by the brief storm.
“I survived Hurricane Charley in my home in Winter Park. That was crazy. Had a lot of damage there, but this was just like I said, and it was like 30 minutes of a cell coming through the neighborhood,” she said.
Despite the destruction, W said she is thankful that no one was hurt.
“The fact that there was no casualty is that there was nobody injured. That’s the most important part. Materials can always be replaced,” W said.
