The storm hit with intense force, damaging roofs, shattering windows, denting vehicles, and stripping trees of branches. Streets quickly filled with slush, debris, and broken glass, leaving the town almost unrecognizable.
When the hail finally stopped, emergency crews and neighbors began the difficult cleanup. Power lines, fallen branches, damaged homes, and blocked roads created new dangers even after the storm had passed.
Despite the destruction, the community came together to recover. The storm left behind damage and fear, but it also reminded residents of their resilience, the importance of preparation, and the strength found in helping one another.
