LEWISTOWN â Some people in Lewistown had a lot of cleaning up to do Thursday after a powerful storm moved through Wednesday. Thankfully, as of Thursday afternoon there were no reports of injuries but there was certainly damage.
The neighborhood directly across the street from Fergus County High School appeared to be the epicenter of the damage from Wednesday s strong storm.
One sign was a twisted-up trampoline. While it was back in the yard of its owner, during the storm on Wednesday it actually blew across the street and landed on a neighbor s car. Our streets were all blocked off. when we came up, we ended up coming into the parking lot just to make sure that we could get in. They had firetrucks and everything,â Rebecca Rosman, who lives in the house where the trampoline blew away from, said.
