Elyria Township Power Outage From Tree Branch
A tree branch fell on three primary lines on Griswold Road in Elyria Township, shorting all three and triggering emergency calls. Smoke from a gas-powered generator caused a roof fire scare at the Spectrum building. A crash at North Ridge Road and Elyria Avenue occurred as signals were cut. An oxygen patient on Lake Avenue needed bottled oxygen after the outage. Power was restored within about 90 minutes.
