The Eastridge neighborhood in Norman took some of the hardest hits from Sunday's storm. Since Monday, clean-up efforts have been made throughout the area's sidewalks and streets. 

However, the destruction and debris are still there. 

For one of the homes, the interior has been exposed after the front part of the house collapsed. 

Pink colored specks are visible on the door, pieces of insulation from when the roof was torn off by strong winds.

The home's owner, who was inside when the weather hit, said it was a terrifying experience.

"We were all huddled against the tub with our dog. I was super scared, I was hyperventilating," homeowner Noah Durrhough said. "You could hear glass shattering like wood splitting apart. You could hear the roof coming down. We were all upset. We were crying, all of our stuff has basically blown away." 

On the street, a red car is flipped upside down and is resting on another vehicle.

The red car was Durrhough's, but his house was two homes over. The strong winds were able to lift his vehicle and toss it over like it was nothing.

Durrhough said everyone inside their home made it out safely and unharmed.
