Storm Update
August 27, 2007
|
The storm that hit Bradford on Saturday afternoon was quick and powerful. Officials have stated there is no evidence of an actual tornado, but estimate winds in the city reached almost seventy miles per hour. The wind, combined with torrential rainfall knocked down over 100 trees and caused a widespread power outage. Damage was actually light with power being restored to most areas within 24 hours. Bradford seems to have been squarely in the track of the storm with damage being reported from Gates Hollow to Bolivar Drive, West Washington Street to East Main Street including Jerome Avenue, and many other side streets. Several large trees were knocked into Tuna Creek at Hanley Park. |

No injuries or major damage to homes were reported, although a large steel tank under construction inside the American Refining Group refinery collapsed. Ground conditions allowed most of the downpour to be absorbed without flooding. Officials have no plans to seek state or federal disaster aid.
