Shelburne Storm Damage

Posted: Updated:

Knocked down power lines, snapped trees and smashed glass. That's what people on Falls Road in Shelburne are cleaning up after a storm swept past late Tuesday afternoon.

"I couldn't even see the trees across the street, it was so dark and gray outside," said Dan Messier.

Messier is visiting family from Arizona, unfortunately, it wasn't quite the vacation he was hoping for.

"My niece looked outside the window and said, ‘The garage is gone!'"

 Reporter Brittney Hibbs: "I'm standing in what was the garage. The wind blew it over and part of it landed on this car smashing the window and walk with me over here, the other part of the garage landed here and that's not all,  trees are uprooted and this all happened in  just a matter of minutes."

Just up the street, Tracy Monell takes video of the wind whipping the power lines outside her house, "It was literally just going back and forth so I started filming it and you couldn't even see the power pole it was just everything was going everywhere."

All that mess including the electric wires laying on the ground, will soon be cleaned up but the storm didn't come and go without a cost.

"The work they are going to have to do to restore the property, get the trees taken care of and yeah we are talking many thousands of dollars I'm sure," said Messier.
