Her backyard, located on Hemlock Street in Baton Rouge, is littered with debris from the storm. The wind took a tree out, and it smashed straight through her roof.
"I had no idea it hit my house until I heard one of my grandchildren holler," she said.
Over 8,000 residents are currently without power in East Baton Rouge Parish.
