Virginia Dorian has damage to her roof and a couple of broken windows. She said she’s contacted her landlord, but hasn’t really heard back.

She also had siding damage to her house, as well as tree debris and a large fence that was knocked down, which she said she removed herself.

Dorian said an adjuster came four days after the tornado, but she’s still waiting on the landlord to get back to her about when repairs will be made.
