Uprooted trees, downed power lines and outages

FORT WAYNE, Ind. (WANE) - It's cleanup time for thousands of people in the Midwest after two rounds of  severe weather hit on  Wednesday.

Early reports came out of Monroeville where some trees were sheared off at the base and some even uprooted.

Throughout Fort Wayne and the Newschannel 15 viewing area there are reports of damaged homes and power outages.

Goshen Road between Independence and Butler in Fort Wayne is closed.  Crews are working to clear debris from a building that is damaged.

Traffic Operations for the City of Fort Wayne reported they are working to restore five traffic signals that are out.  They are:

- Fairfield and Taylor
- Lafayette and Tillman
- New Haven and Lumbard

Drivers should treat any traffic signal that is not operating, as a four-way stop. 

No word on when that area will be cleared.

Crews are also working to restore electricity.

At the height of the power outages, I & M reported more than 3,500 customers in Allen County alone were without power.

Now, 3,100 customers remain without power in Allen County and, as of 10:00 a.m., over 17,000 are without power in the listen area.

Click here to report an outage or to see how others in our area are affected.

Kosciusko REMC is also monitoring power outages. Substations impacted include East 30; Wooster; Walnut Creek West; Syracuse, and Northwest.

There have been no reports of serious injuries.

Be on the lookout for fallen debris and check wane.com and watch Newschannel 15 for updates throughout the morning.

I & M is warning all areas affected to never touch a downed utility wire, no matter how harmless it looks. And, also avoid touching anything in contact with the line.
