Barbara Evelande was fast asleep when severe storms started rolling through her town.
She awoke, finding rubble surrounding her in bed.
Evelande says though it wasn't easy, she knew she had to escape. She was desperate to check on her son, who lives with her.
"I'm gutsy. Always been that way," she said.
Fortunately, Evelande wasn't seriously hurt.
After the tree is cleared, she plans on getting a new roof for the home she's lived in for more than 50 years.
