Strong winds and storms on Thursday left lots of downed tree limbs in Marshall, but nothing as extreme as the locust tree that fell on Russ Svenningsen’s house and garage on Walnut Street. Workers were removing portions of the trunk on Friday morning.
Svenningsen said his children and a neighbor’s children were outside playing right before the storm hit. He and the kids took shelter in the garage. No one was injured.
“I heard a sound almost like a shotgun going off. That must have been the trunk,” Svenningsen said.
The falling tree punched a hole in the garage roof and collapsed a couple of ceilings in the house. The Svenningsens are staying with friends until the damage can be repaired.
“People and the neighbors have just been so great to help out,” Svenningsen said.
