Storms Leave Hickory County Plastered With Downed Trees
Winds and rain battered the county toppling trees and causing widespread outages. The Hickory fire department reported about an hour without power before PennDOT and utility crews assed the scene. Penn Power logged dozens of downed lines and dozens among neighborhoods, with about 20 customers still out Wednesday morning. Fire officials described 56 power-line and tree incidents and multiple calls, including a small attic fire and six medical calls. Residents recalled a tornado-like sweep, nearby yards littered with limbs, and a 60-foot pine blocking Winslow Avenue alongside a historic 100-year-old oak toppled in the storm. Public works cleaned up debris overnight, while Crews projected restoration by late evening.
