HENDERSON, TEXAS - Theresa Strong had decided to prepare her some chips and hot sauce Monday evening before heading to bed. She did know her it would be hours before she could go to sleep. A storm had blown into Rusk County bringing wind, hail and strong winds. Winds that, just moments after she walked away from her refrigerator, brought a huge tree down on top of the house, and thrust a large limb through her ceiling and into the kitchen right where she had been standing.
"All I could do was stand there and cry," said Strong recounting the events the next day. The tree ripped a much larger hole in the roof, allowing rain to flood the attic and eventually begin pouring into the kitchen through vents in the ceiling.
