Another neighbor we spoke to on Monday night told us what he saw after the storm rolled through.
"Walked outside and we were cleaning up the garbage and we looked down there and houses are torn into pieces and looked pretty rough," Paul Hurlburt said. "We drove down the road to my grandparents' house and all the trees in their front yard and their backyard is all destroyed but their house isn't touched, so it was shocking. I've never seen nothing like this, it's going to take a while to clean all this up."
