(La Porte, IN) - A La Porte man is one of many residents with a tree on their house following Tuesday’s heavy rain and wind storm.

 

Alex Page has obvious damage to his roof at Maple Ave. and Tyler St., but it’s too early know the full extent of the necessary repairs.  Page said he was home when the late morning/early afternoon storm hit.

 

“We heard a big snap,” he said.

 

Page said he thought a branch came down but was shocked to see a large uprooted tree on his roof when he went outside.  His reaction was “oh, God.  It’s the whole tree.”

 

Right now, Page, who hasn’t discovered any holes or cracks in his roof yet, continues to live in the home and plans to contact his insurance company soon about removing the tree and fixing the damage.

 

Page also has no power like thousands of other La Porte residents, but he does have a water heater and stove that operates on natural gas.
