East Raleigh residents lost trees, not lives
Residents of east Raleigh's Marlborough Road near Enloe High School were saying prayers of thanks and brandishing chainsaws Tuesday as the cleanup from a powerful weekend storm entered its third day.
Posted — UpdatedThe mature trees that once dotted the neighborhood were tossed like dolls in winds greater than 100 mph. "It doesn't look like Marlborough Road," said Maxine Tutu. "I don't know what it looks like."
Aerial images show a canopy of green before the storm hit and and toppled trees and crushed houses after Saturday's storm. High winds, rain and hail made their way Saturday afternoon from downtown Raleigh to Yonkers Road near Interstate 440, touching down on Marlborough Road in between.
