Thanks to Maureen Vogt for sharing her photos of the recent storm damage:

Intersection of 16th and C Road was closed after the storm a week ago Saturday night due to downed power lines. It was reopened on Thursday afternoon.

This is one of several debris piles that accumulated along County Road 16 as OPPD removed downed poles from farm fields.

Bryson Jones was on hand to help clean up damage to the belt feeder, bunk, and its roof at the Harvey Vogt farm.

Damaged feedline bunk and belt feeder.

The damaged power lines were removed from the treetops.

OPPD at work.
