When we arrived, we found an old oak tree completely uprooted and toppled on top of his home. Robert Battles tells us he and his wife were in bed when it fell. 'I heard like a choo-choo train coming through there, then I heard something hit,' Battles said. 'I really didn't know it was that much damage until I got up to go to the grocery store.' More damage could be seen across the street, where a large limb barely missed a neighbor's home, falling into the front yard. Just a few minutes away in the Princeton Woods neighborhood, another tree crashed on top of a home. News 5 spoke with one woman who was passing by the moment it happened.
