CENTRAL - Three homes were damaged in overnight storms late Saturday evening.

The homes were in the Frenchtown Road area where roofs were torn apart in places or peeled back from the structure.

Damage was reported to have happened just before 11 p.m. Saturday. Homeowner Joyce Chaney says she heard everything.

"There was a loud noise, like a freight train and a feeling of pressure in the house. I felt it," Chaney said.

The damaged homes were in a cluster about halfway down Frenchtown Road between Central Thruway and the Conservation Area. Metro Councilmember Aaron Moak spent his Sunday morning going door to door checking on the residents.

"Please, if you're outside cleaning up and taking care of your property please be careful. And if it's something that you don't look like you can handle, get with us and maybe we can help you out," Moak said.

The storms rolled through the area as WBRZ Storm Station meteorologists tracked them live on the 10 o'clock news. The storms blew through as part of a cold front.  

Temperatures Sunday will be much cooler compared to Saturday.  Click HERE for more from the WBRZ Storm Station weather team.
