6th Street & Walnut Street
A pin oak (Quercus palustris) appears to have succumbed to stress from thunderstorm wind gusts earlier in the day, splitting down its trunk and sending branches crashing down on parked cars, which sustained damage. There are no known injuries at this time.
A pin oak (Quercus palustris) appears to have succumbed to stress from thunderstorm wind gusts earlier in the day, splitting down its trunk and sending branches crashing down on parked cars, which sustained damage. There are no known injuries at this time. Several appointed and elected officials are here—the branches fell during a county plan commission meeting in the Nat U. Hill Room of the county courthouse. The commission finished its business. It looked like crews from city street division and county highway were working to clear debris. (Dave Askins, Aug. 19, 2025)
