Impacts on Services and Roads After Overnight Storm
Read More...

Overnight and early morning severe thunderstorms have impacted multiple intersections throughout the City, resulting in power outages and traffic signal disruptions. At this time, no homes or businesses have been damaged. City crews are working to clear and address affected intersections. 

Treat intersections with non-functioning traffic signals as four-way stops. Flashing red traffic lights are treated as stop signs. Flashing yellow traffic lights are treated as yield signs; drivers should proceed with caution.

Most major road blockages have been cleared by the City's Urban Forestry Team. Some trees remain in the roadways due to the involvement of power lines at:

  • E Taylor Run & Duke Street Service Road
  • Wesmond Dr.
  • N Columbus St. 

City teams are continuing to monitor weather conditions. Storm debris that are not blocking roads or sidewalks will be cleared through the weekend into early next week. 

For immediate police, fire, or emergency medical assistance, call or text 911.
