Northeast Cobb home condemned after being smashed by tree

More stunning devastation of Thursday’s storms from Hurricane Zeta:

Rachel Curry sent these photos of a tree that demolished two-thirds of her Northeast Cobb home, which has been condemned.

She said the 16,000-pound tree made a direct hit on the structure around 4:30 a.m. :

“The interior is crushed sheetrock, fallen attic rafters, and insulation everywhere along with a crack in the main floor joist. We are just grateful to be safe.”

She and her family are staying for now in a hotel with their pets, and Curry said an insurance adjustor is coming Tuesday to see if the house will have to be totalled.

Earlier on Saturday we heard from Tracy Cullo, a homeowner in the Mountain Creek neighborhood, and whose house was also hit by a tree, barely avoiding slamming into one of her daughters’ bedrooms.

Everyone is safe there too.
