Homeowner blames city for house damage during Hanna

A Wilmington homeowner blames the city for a tree that crashed into her home. Nancy O'Dell and her neighbor Harold Horne say it is the city's fault for the damage a tree caused to their houses. Tropical storm Hanna's winds blew the tree over Saturday morning. The neighbors said the tree belongs to the city and they have been after them to chop it down. O'Dell said the city should pay for her roof repairs and not her insurance. O’Dell stated, “That's what we want to know, we think the city should be responsible for this. At least restore what we have.” O'Dell and her neighbor were also upset because they had been without electricity since Saturday morning.
