This morning's storm brought significant wind, downed trees, and power outages throughout town and across Harrison County. Crews from KU are actively working to restore power and remove trees from power lines. Our City Public Works team has been out since the storm, clearing streets and debris, and will continue those efforts throughout the day. At this time, Newsome Ave., Waterworks Rd., the 100 block of Old Lair and the 300 block of E. Pleasant Street are closed due to downed trees.
Times like these remind us of the strength of our community. If you are able, please check on your neighbors, especially seniors and those who may need assistance. If you provide tree removal services, please comment below with your contact information to help connect residents who may need cleanup assistance.
Thank you to our first responders, Public Works employees, and the utility crews who have been working through the aftermath of the storm.
