GRETNA, Va. – The Red Cross is assisting a Pittsylvania County family after a tree fell in their yard, destroying their Gretna home.

Family members were able to get out as a strong thunderstorm felled a tree on Kelly Lane at around 5 p.m. Friday.

One woman was taken to the hospital in Gretna, where she was treated for a leg injury.

The storm packed strong winds and knocked out power to a number of homes after multiple trees toppled in the northern end of Pittsylvania County. The storm was also blamed for one car crash.
