One of the many examples of wind damage from the storm last Thursday night and Friday morning. One of the large trees to the west of Pat Wherry’s house snapped off and fell onto her garage. Wind gusts exceeded 50 mph in many places with power knocked out about 2:45 a.m. Friday. It was restored in town by 7:30 a.m. but not until as late as 4 p.m. in outlying areas. .
