The winter storm that made its way through the area yesterday caused some damage in Indiana County and nearby Derry Township in Westmoreland County.
Indiana County 911 reports that there were two reports for trees down in Indiana County, one in East Wheatfield Township at 12:06 PM and the other about six minutes later in Armagh Borough. There were also reports of utility lines down at 4:05 PM in Burrell Township. Black Lick and Blairsville fire fighters responded to that, but before then, they were called in to Westmoreland County to help with various incidents, including a reported structure fire on Georgina Drive in Derry. Their response was cancelled as crews were en route.
Bradenville Fire Chief Mark Piantine said they had several calls for trees and lines down, including along Pandora Road in the areas of Brenizer and Torrance. There was also a report of the roof being torn off a mobile home in the village of Peanut due to the high winds that came with the snowy conditions yesterday. While there were no injuries reported in that incident, the two people living in that mobile home were displaced. The Westmoreland County Animal Response Team was also called out to that home to help take care of over a dozen cats found in the home.
