Several buildings along I-75 between Floral Acres Drive and Springmeade Lane also sustained minor roof damage, including shingle and soffit removal. On the east side of I-75, several residential homes on Manchester Drive and Windsor Crossing had minor roof damage, including shingle and soffit removal.
