Winds topple sunroom roof near Troy

A woman living on North Sayers Road near Troy walked outside after severe storms moved through the area to find significant damage to much of her property.

Leanna Purkeypile discovered significant damage to the sun room area of her home in the 0-100 block of North Sayers around 11:30 p.m. Thursday.

"They said we were having the tornado warning and then about ten after 11 the wind picked up really hard," Purkeypile said. "I went to the bathroom and stayed in there," she added.

"It didn't sound like a train, but it sounded terrible."

The roof of Purkeypile's sun room was ripped off and thrown over her house, landing in her front yard.

In addition to the sun room damage, she said her home had a two to three foot portion of her roof ripped off and some siding damage.

"The one thing I did think was I'm OK," Purkeypile said.

A trampoline was thrown into Purkeypile's yard from what she estimated to be from four or five houses away.

Purkeypile said she expects to contact her insurance company in the morning to see what the cost of the damage will be.
