CONDITIONS UPDATE – High winds aftermath

Winds Are Dying Down

The wind in the mountains has subsided considerably in the last 12 hours, though it is still breezy. Some Lilac Park homes suffered minor damage from falling trees, but as of this posting, there have been no reports of injuries and property damage as been relatively minor.

PLEASE NOTE: Lilac Drive between Maple and Alder is still closed while clean up and utility crews remove debris and make repairs to downed power lines. If you’re headed into the Arnold area today or tomorrow and you have to travel this section of road, we strongly encourage that you plan your travels to arrive while there is still daylight. There are debris and branches everywhere and getting through this area on foot may be hazardous in low light conditions.

UTILITY STATUS:
Certain parts of Lilac Park continue to be without power (See areas in posts below). Comcast is down along the ridge section of Summit View, but how much of Lilac Park that’s affected is unclear at this point.

PROPERTY DAMAGE REPORTS:
The Fu family on Lilac Drive had a tree come down on their property resulting in fairly minor damage to the corner of their house and a portion of the surrounding deck. They have already been contacted.

There is a home on Ponderosa that sustained minor damage to a deck by a falling tree. The address and lot information isn’t available as of this posting, but Grace Neurath is attempting to make direct contact with the homeowner this morning.

There is a vacant home for sale on Summit View that sustained minor damage from a falling tree. We will attempt to contact the Real Estate office listing the property this morning.

CLEAN UP BEGINS
The entire area is littered with debris and branches and clean up efforts have already begun. If you’re planning a trip to assess your property and begin clean up, please be sure to bring appropriate tools. Lot cleaning services are also available HERE.
