Strong Winds Damage House Near Belleville

Submitted by admin on Tue, 07/14/2015 - 9:19am

High winds, potentially from a tornado or rotation, damaged the roof of this house on Hillcrest Road, south of Belleville, after the storm on early Monday morning.
Nearby trees were ripped up from the earth and twisted, causing the police and fire departments to believe that there was rotation in the area.
Throughout the next several days, more thunderstorms are predicted to go through the area.
Be sure to take cover in a sturdy building if appropriate for the situation.

Vandalism in Belleville

Submitted by admin on Tue, 07/07/2015 - 8:54am

Sometime Friday night, the flower pots in front of the Belleville Public Library were tipped over. Two of them were broken. The police are investigating this vandalism, along with other incidents that happened the same night. The library greatly appreciates all of the support from folks on Facebook and hope someone saw something that will help the police. Shelli Eichelkraut is wonderful; she repotted the flowers in her own pots so they wouldn't die.
