Strong storms hit the area Friday afternoon, which prompted power outages. The mayor's wife, Darlene Scott, said they lost power shortly after the tree fell.
"It was like a train," she described. "Then all of a sudden, things were going everywhere. I ran and got my husband, we ran for shelter. Then it was just gone, and it was just one of the scariest things I have ever been through."

Fortunately, no injuries were reported. The Scott family said they will now work to assess any damage.
