WINDY — High 'winds knocked down half a tree
early Sunday night on the home of Bob Lortie at
36 Huron St. in Seaforth. There was damage to
the roof of the building, which had .recently
been re-shingled. An awning frame also came
loose in the howling winds and broke a window
in the newsroom of The Huron Expositor. All in
all it was a wild weekend weather-wise.

was hit by lightning and replaced.
