Storm Damage: What to Do

A very strong in-line wind (Tornado?) hit the East side of Woodland Heights going North from the Southwest. Sherman Hill, Woodland Heights, South of Grand, etc areas were hit the hardest.

If you have ANY questions about the damage or issues concerning the clean up, PLEASE BE AT THE MONTHLY MEETING (April 16) so we can put together a list of items to contact City Government about.
