Never, on River Road in Damascus Township, have I witnessed a convoy of men and trucks such as the one in my picture.

Not in 35 years of storms, power failures, and a tornado touching down.

This sunny Tuesday, (3/6), with a “Flagger Force” to regulate traffic, the men fanned out until late afternoon.

A day after the storm, on Saturday, a local resident had sawed and removed debris from 27 trees – clearing a 3-mile passage from Damascus to the Milanville Store, which had a generator.
