Limbs down, power out as thunderstorm hits Syracuse

tßy DEB PATTERSON Staff Writer F •ople will be paying closer attention to the weatherman after last Wednesday afternoon’s thunderstorm that whipped through the Lakeland area, with Syracuse being the hardest hit. The weatherman forecasted a 30 percent chance of thunderstorms that day. Normally 30 percent means the Lakeland area doesn’t see a drop of rain. Were we fooled! Strong gusting winds, heavy rains and some hail, blew into Syracuse from all directions at approximately 3:45 p.m. with two other storms coming through in the evening hours. Limbs fell all over town and the streets became flooded from the heavy rains. Winds were measured at 70-78 miles per hour and visibility at times, due to blowing rain, was limited to less than 50 feet. The Syracuse Street, Water andSewer Department recorded 2.9 inches of rain fell during the three waves of storms on Wednesday. It was a close call for Lavelle Smoker, 77, New Paris, and a passenger in her Cadillac Eldorado. Mrs. Smoker was nor thbound on Huntington Street (SR 13) and was almost to the intersection of Pearl Street when a tree-size limb fell in /front of her vehicle. It damaged the Windshield, roof and right front end. Syracuse Police reported damage was up to *2,500. Huntington Street was blocked for approximately two hours. No one was injured in this mishap. North Huntington, North Drive in Stucky Addition, W. E. Long Drive near Lakeside Park, South Huntington and Harrison at Main Street were all either partially blocked or completely blocked by fallen limbs. Numerous limbs caused damage to property. A large tree fell on a house on Medusa Street and another limb fell on a house on Dolan Drive. A chain-link fence and garage were damaged by a large fallen tree limb at the comer of Benton and Harrison Streets.

The Syracuse Street Department has been working overtime to haul away all the debris left by the storm. The amount of downed limbs is unbelievable by workers for the town, with the dumping area attesting to that. Outages Ogden Island on Lake Wawasee was the major affected area due to power outages from the storm, according to Robert Westfall, Northern Indiana Public Service Company Syracuse Office manager. A tree at the Wawasee Spinks Condominiums fell on a power line and caused the outages. Pickwick Road area was also affected with the loss of electricity. Throughout the rest of the Syracuse area, power outages were scattered caused by tree limbs on power lines. Outages

CPR classes offered at Goshen Hospital

Goshen Hospital is offering a cardiopulmonary resuscitation (CRP) class on Saturday, Aug. 22, from 9 a.m.-3:30 p.m. at the hospital’s education department. Cardiopulmonary resuscitation is an emergency measure which almost everyone can learn in a short time. CPR may keep the heart attack patient alive until more advanced life support is available. When a person’s heart stops for any reason — heart attack, electrical shock, drowning, smoke inhalation — the first few minutes can mean the difference between life and death. The American Heart Association estimates that 50,000 heart attack victims could be saved annually if emergency care were available at the scene. CPR can provide that immediate care. It involves mouth-to-mouth breathing and chest massage to restart the stopped heart. Its purpose is to keep the heart attack victim alive until advanced life support is available. Teachers, homemakers, students,

were also scattered in Milford. The Syracuse Police Department received numerous calls regarding limbs down and power outages. Firemen and members of the Syracuse Civil Defense were called in to assist in looking for downed electrical wires and assisting with traffic at blocked areas. Other Areas North Webster had scattered power outages lasting two to three hours, trees down, high water, and a tree fire. Spotters were called out when the weather threatened a possible tornado with several unconfirmed sightings reported. Milford had some scattered power outages, however, there was little sign of a storm coming through the area except for one or two tree limbs which fell.

businessmen, restaurant employees and families of heart patients should all take advantage of CPR training. With the knowledge of proper CPR techniques, a person may be able to save a life. Anyone interested in CPR can enroll by calling the education department at Goshen Hospital. Pre-registration is required as class size is limited. There is a class fee which includes book and materials.
