TROY, Texas — Some Troy residents are rebuilding following Sunday's storms, which brought strong winds and heavy rain to the area.
Some residents described the Mother's Day storm as a "grey wall" moving through the city.
"Wind was blowing extremely hard, we couldn't go outside the front porch, it was blowing that hard," said Troy resident James Rose.
Rose said the wind picked up a carport from the side of his property and then threw it across his front yard, over his fence and onto the other side of the street. It damaged his roof as it was picked up and airborne, Rose said.
His neighbor, Aiden O'Hea, said he was working on a leather shop in front of his home that was less than 50 percent done before the storm came through.
"I hadn't even gotten to the floor on the second half of the shop yet, I just had some of the walls framed out on the first half," O'Hea said. "It was just completely smashed up by the wind and got knocked over."
O'Hea said his pool in his backyard was also damaged, as he was preparing to clean it out for summer.
Both O'Hea and Rose said it's going to be all hands on deck to rebuild their properties and the community. Other neighbors have been going from house-to-house, checking on damage and offering to help out in the recovery process.
