Wind and hail damage discovered in Marshall County

Storm clouds rolled through rural Marshall County leaving damage and debris everywhere.

For the Stone family, you could say it was a good time to be away from their Mount View home.

"I almost slid down on the hail, we had so much hail, the windows were broken in, so I'm just glad I wasn't here," says Deb Stone.

The hail was still solid hours afterward.

A piece of roof tossed and stuck in the soil like a javelin.

Soaked towels sit inside the Stone's home along the floor.

Outside, on-lookers, look on in awe.

Upon arriving home, Deb had her own reaction.

"Shocked, I came around the curve, my daughter said our house is ok, and I said it's not, and I could tell the shingles were gone and the closer I got I noticed our carport was gone."

"It's on the other side of the road," says Michael Stone. 

Cows, not cars are now parked next to the Stone's carport.

"It looks a little messy, but nobody's hurt, it could have been a lot worse."

Emergency management crews check in, and crews work around the neighborhood.

For the Stone's, the shock is wearing off, and the reality is setting in.

"Cover, recover, and start putting together the pieces," adds Michael Stone.
