     Driving down Ardmore Avenue, there were downed trees. Motorists were forced to turn around in front of the Old Elmhurst High School building, caution tape protecting them from a utility pole that had been snapped in half, left barely hanging on.

     Detouring down Sandpointe you see old trees completely uprooted, laying on their sides...fallen branch after fallen branch.

     One man jumped into action, turning his fallen tree into firewood.  Some trees hung in the balance supported by power lines.  On Bluffton Road, you could see Fort Wayne P.D. re-routing traffic, ensuring that drivers were steering clear of several large trees,, splintered at the core.
