Only minor damage reported in Whitley County
By Jennifer Zartman Romano
Last night's powerful storms wreaked havoc on Ohio counties, but Whitley County seems to have fared surprisingly well.
The National Weather Service is reviewing damage in other areas of Indiana and Ohio to determine whether it was merely strong winds or actual tornadoes that touched down in areas such as the hard-hit Celina, Ohio.
According to Whitley County Emergency Management director Cathy Broxon-Ball, little damage has been reported in Whitley County. She said a few trees were felled by the storm in Thorncreek Township and a pole fell near Tri Lakes. She added that the EMA continues to look for damage in other areas of the county this afternoon.
Elsewhere in the county, the biggest indicator of the storm seems to be some flooding and standing water in low-lying areas.
