Behind the Headlines

By Paula Wethington / paula@monroenews.com

Hats off to the dispatchers tonight for keeping up with all this stuff … more of what I’m catching on the scanner amid the fire truck sirens off in a distance, occasional lightning flashes and soft rain falling in city of Monroe.

• 3600 block of Dunbar Rd., Bedford Township, wires down.
• 8300 block of Lewis Ave., wires down.
• W. Albain Rd., wires down.
• Wires down, 7900 block of Jackman Rd, including a tree that is down on a house in that area.
• Wires down, 8800 block of Summerfield Rd., including a tree reported on fire, in Bedford Township.
• Wires down on Michigan Ave. in city of Monroe.

In the meantime, the radar picture must have looked really pretty on TV. I just got a phone call from a relative in Ohio who’s wondering how my husband and I are holding up after she saw the weather reports.
