Wind damage…

Strong winds rolled through Van Wert Monday evening and took down a couple of small trees and large branches. Traffic was stopped in both directions on S. Washington St. for several hours as a large tree limb came down and took down utility lines, and a medium size tree came down in the 200 block of N. Jefferson St. Van Wert County CERT assisted in managing Washington St. traffic around the blockage. Bob Barnes/Van Wert independent
