High winds from a severe thunderstorm wreaked havoc in portions of DeKalb County Tuesday afternoon
Perhaps the hardest hit area was on Meadow View Lane in the Four Seasons Community where a travel trailer overturned with three persons inside. Members of the DeKalb County Volunteer Fire Department and DeKalb EMS responded along with the Sheriff’s Department. Two of the occupants were helped from the trailer. The other made it out on his own before help arrived.
One of them was transported to the hospital by DeKalb EMS while the other two went there by private vehicles.
A portable storage shed at the scene was also moved off its foundation due to the high winds and a few trees in the area were uprooted.
Trees were down in other parts of the county as well. No other injuries were reported.
