Elderly couple barely escapes after tree crashes into Reidsville home

A man's great aunt and uncle dodged a fallen tree limb after it crashed through the roof onto their bed.

REIDSVILLE, N.C. — A Reidsville couple is stumped after Monday’s winter snowstorm damage.

A man's great aunt and uncle were lying on the bed during the storm when a fallen tree came crashing into their home.

The aunt and uncle are both around 90 years old. He said the tree grazed his aunt’s hip, leaving her with a bruise. He said if she had laid any other way, it would have hit her.

It came straight down through the roof, between the two as it pierced the comforter and left debris on the sheets.

WFMY News 2 viewers shared their storm damage pictures with us Monday as people are still recovering from the winter storm power outages. Thousands of people were in the dark and some are still waiting for Duke Energy to restore their power.
