Thibodeaux said he woke up in the middle night when he heard the storms and said he could see the furniture outside of his home being picked up from the high winds.
“I actually got up and went look out the front door of my house, and when I was looking out the door of my house, I saw my rocking chairs on the front of my house slide one direction in the other direction,” Thibodeaux said. “Soon there after I saw this large oak tree behind me fall towards my house, and I could feel the intensity of the wind pushing on the door while I was standing there.”
