LOUDON (WATE) -- There was some stormy weather in parts of the
viewing area Friday evening. Pop-up thunderstorms caused some
damage, but fortunately, no injuries.
At the Loudon County Courthouse, a giant maple was toppled
onto the roof. The roof will have to be repaired, but there was
no damage inside the courthouse.
At one home on Sugar Limb Road, two trees were split in half
and fell, blocking the driveway. A bigger tree in the backyard
cracked at the base and fell onto power lines, then the roof. It
did not go through to the inside of the house.
Just a few blocks away, a front yard tree branch broke and
fell right on top of a parked pick-up truck. The truck did not
appear to have any damage.
In a second floor bedroom of a house on Highway 11, a big oak
tree fell against the house, knocking a piece of plaster off the
wall and tearing the window screen. Luckily, it did not come
through the glass.
