The owner of Red’s Custom Tees was working when he heard a lot of commotion.
“It blew the back door open on my shop, which forced the front door to fly opened and a few papers blew and probably rain came inside the store about 12 feet — it was pretty quick but pretty jolting,” said owner of Red's Custom Tees, Darren Perkins.
No damage was done to the tee shop, and neighbors are working to clean up the area.
