TOOELE, Utah — Hollie Hochhaus was at work Friday when a neighbor sent her a scary text: a photo of her house, showing half the roof ripped off her house.
“Winds like this are common," she said."They're really common out here. I was just really unlucky this day.” She found roof pieces littered all over her front yard and in the street, insulation wrapped around neighbors' tires and in their yards.“It didn't show any signs of lifting, so I didn't think that was going to be an issue," said Hochhaus."I thought it was pretty secure.”“He told me that with the age that it is, that it's not insurable," she said.
Without insurance, Hochhaus will have to pay for a new roof completely out of pocket. She’s asking the community if they’ll help her out and has created a GoFundMe that people can donate to. “I try to do what I can to give to other people," said Hochhaus."I just hope I'm deserving. I don't know if I am.”
