Clean-Up Underway

After Thunderstorm

The whirring sound of the village’s “Bandit Intimidator” wood chipper is being heard throughout Cooperstown today, as crews, including Assistant DPW Superintendent Chris Satriano, above, finish the cleanup after Saturday’s thunderstorm. Heavy rains and wind struck shortly before 6 p.m. for only a minute or two, but wreaked outsized damage. Among the homes narrowly escaping serious damage is Celia Lamb’s on Linden Avenue, inset. The storm knocked over an oak slightly to the north of the house, leveraged up the sidewalk, but beyond that even missed a birdhouse in its path. “We were very fortunate,” Mrs. Lamb said. “It missed the house, it missed the car and it missed the trailer” that a tenant rents. (Jim Kevlin/AllOTSEGO.com) Many locals were nearly on the verge of contacting roof repair companies similar those at this address – 3500 Beachwood Court, Suite 207, Jacksonville, FL 32224 – in case they needed a local firm on hand to repair their roof. Luckily, this wasn’t the case. However, if you weren’t so lucky or you live in an area where you have recently experienced damage from a ripping storm, it might for a good idea to consider phoning Beneficial Roofing at (901) 979-9931 if you feel your home has been damaged due to the storm, to gain a better idea of how to tackle the job.
