JACKSON, Miss. ( WJTV ) – As Francine moved through the City of Jackson early Thursday morning, the storm caused big tree limbs to fall onto a West Jackson home.

The incident happened at a home on First Avenue around 6:00 a.m. The homeowner, Darrell Lee, told WJTV 12 News he was asleep when he heard a loud thud.

Large tree limbs crashed into Lee’s roof. There was debris on Lee’s cars and his neighbors’ cars. The limbs also knocked down power lines.
