(WKYT) &#8211; A lot of cleaning up is underway in parts of London.<\/p>\n<p class=\"text | article-text\">A popular ladies\u2019 clothing store was damaged.<\/p>\n<p class=\"text | article-text\">Paperdolls\u2019 Ladies Boutique and part of Copper Penny\u2019s roofs on Main Street were blown off.<\/p>\n<p class=\"text | article-text\">\u201cLuckily there were no customers in my store; it was just myself and my bookkeeper Julie. We noticed the sky getting really really dark,\u201d said Judy House of Paperdolls.<\/p>\n<p><img decoding=\"async\" class=\"figure-img img-fluid mx-auto d-block\" loading=\"lazy\" src=\"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/uk\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/05\/1747453930_506_7Q22NG66SFG4BCCZJFMQ43MG6E.jpg\" width=\"980\" height=\"200\" \/><\/p>\n<p class=\"text | article-text\">Part of the outer layer of the roof landed in the parking lot and smashed windows in two cars.<\/p>\n<p class=\"text | article-text\">\u201cI\u2019m like\u2014 this is the worst storm I have ever witnessed in my entire life,\u201d said House.<\/p>\n<p class=\"text | article-text\">There was a lot of damage outside but luckily not much inside.<\/p>\n<p class=\"text | article-text\">\u201cThe top roof of this building has been revamped and beautifully so, the top roof blew off, it was the new roof, underneath; the old roof still exists.\u201d<\/p>\n<p class=\"text | article-text\">Double the protection but still quite the mess both on top and well as on the ground. But the good news: none needed for paramedics or EMT\u2019s.<\/p>\n<p class=\"text | article-text\">\u201cTherefore, we were not hurt. And this point no one was hurt.<\/p>\n<p class=\"text | article-text\">Nobody was hurt and we are very thankful for that,\u201d said House.<\/p>\n<p class=\"text | article-text\">The storm also knocked down some trees, closed some roads and kept utility crews busy restoring power.<\/p>\n<p class=\"text | article-text\">\u201cWe have had several reports around the city, of trees down, blocking roadways, we have crews there working as well, making sure citizens stay safe,\u201d said Officer Hobie Daugherty with London Police.<\/p>\n<p class=\"text | article-text\">Judy House says they hope to reopen the business soon, after the cleanup is done, and power is restored.<\/p>\n<p class=\"copyright |\">Copyright 2025 WKYT.
