SAN ANTONIO \u2013 The impacts of Friday\u2019s storms are still visible across San Antonio\u2019s West Side, where neighbors are cleaning up downed trees and trying to make damaged homes livable again. <\/p>\n
On Calaveras Street near Zarzamora and Martin streets, crews have cleared trees from the roadway. But inside some homes, the damage remains extensive. <\/p>\n
Emiliano Rodriguez said his family did not realize how severe the storms were until they saw the damage afterward. <\/p>\n
\u201cIt was bad, but we didn\u2019t know it was this bad,\u201d Rodriguez said. <\/p>\n
A tree split in half and narrowly missed his home. The storms blew trampolines onto roofs, he said. <\/p>\n
The family was also left without power for three days, forcing them to throw away hundreds of dollars\u2019 worth of food. <\/p>\n
\u201cThere was no power Friday, Saturday or Sunday \u2014 those three days, no power,\u201d Rodriguez said. \u201cOur fridge is two doors, and we lost all of it $300 or $250 worth of groceries.\u201d <\/p>\n
Up the road, Oscar Jayasi is dealing with roof damage and damage to much of the inside of his home. Strong winds ripped sheet metal from the roof, allowing rain to pour into the living room, bedroom and kitchen. <\/p>\n
Jayasi said the wind blew sheetrock across the home, while water soaked the furniture and bedding. <\/p>\n
\u201cThis was the couch, and this was the sheetrock that was here. I guess because it didn\u2019t fall here, it blew over here,\u201d he said, describing the damage inside. <\/p>\n
Buckets were placed throughout the home as water continued to fall from the ceiling. <\/p>\n
\u201cIt started falling there, so all the bed, it got completely soaking wet,\u201d Jayasi said. <\/p>\n
Jayasi said he is not sure where to begin as he works to make his home livable again. He plans to ask the city for help with repairs. <\/p>\n
Rodriguez said his family plans to cut down the damaged tree in their yard themselves. He also said neighbors have been helping one another since the storms. <\/p>\n
