Residents in the northwest Houston neighborhood were also hard hit by the May 16 derecho storm.
"We got the tornado warning at about five something this morning and heard the wind. Heard the rain. Everything was fine for a while," Sharon Fuller said. "We heard a loud crack and the neighbor's tree from the front yard way on the other side of their yard, fell across our yard and hit our front stoop, porch, roof," Fuller told KHOU 11 News."And then, I was looking out the window and watched the tree across the street come down.
Her neighbors also have damage from Beryl's strong winds. Their whole carport collapsed under the weight of a large tree. Sharon said when the derecho hit in May, she and her neighbors avoided damage. They were not so lucky this time around. "We're one of the only houses that never got touched and this time it's only us on the street," Fuller said."We've already filed an insurance claim and heard back, so I think we're good," Fuller said.
