Photos: Storm damage for the Pillises

We have photos of storm damage for Sam and Nancy Pillis. Here is the background story from Denise Lisle on Saturday:

“Approx 15-20 years ago a storm rolled through Botetourt County that damaged about 25 trees surrounding the home of Sam and Nancy Pillis (Country Club Rd.) The scene at their home today was very similar to that storm of years ago. In fact, you couldn’t even get up their driveway today until their son, Michael Pillis and son-in-law, Jeremy Lisle cleared several trees that had fallen across the long drive.”
