Trees uprooted by 70 mph winds

Uprooted tree on Maple AvenueThe big winds last Saturday morning and afternoon uprooted several trees, mostly big pines, in and around Newark. The winds downed electrical wires on Church Street near Hoffman, and knocked down trees on East Maple, Driving Park Avenue, Colton, Stansel, and Vienna Streets. Around the county, trees and roofs were damaged, including the roof of the Pal-Mac High School gym, and a restaurant in Savannah.
