In Englewood, a tree snapped and damaged a house on Rankin Drive while the homeowner was at lunch.
Connie and Gary Brooks live next to the house that was damaged.
“I came home from picking up the dog and I said ‘Gary, look at that,’” Connie said.
The couple said they were shocked to see this happen so close to home.
News Center 7 spoke with the homeowner off-camera. He said he was trying to sell his home, but the damage complicates things.
Another tree was tangled in power lines and crushed a shed just a few streets over near the corner of Rumson Street and Magnolia Drive.
Gary said all he had to clean up were some branches, but they did lose power.
“I’ve never seen it rain horizontally, but it was raining horizontally,” Gary said.
