Raleigh homes damaged by fallen trees in overnight storms

Heavy winds knocked trees over in North Raleigh causing damage to homes.

Hail was reported at around 9 p.m. on Friday, and afterward storms and winds came through.

"At first there was just some small hail, and then it quickly got much larger and the winds became much stronger," said Nichole Chase, resident of the Glen Arbor neighborhood.

The neighborhood is located near Dominion Park off Leesville Road.

"Then it just changed the sounds -- the wind. Probably one of the scariest things I've ever experienced," Chase said.

Chase said that Miranda Drive and Erinsbrook Drive have the most damage in her neighborhood.
