Oak Orchard Experiences Flooding, Downed Trees & Wind Damage

Posted: Updated:

OAK ORCHARD, Del. - Wednesday night, Oak Orchard Road, Chief Road and River Road were closed due to flooding. 

There were reports of downed trees and wires - in one incident, a tree reportedly fell onto a vehicle. 

Emergency responders say the wind caused the most damage, tearing off shingles and siding from homes. 

It appears damages are minimal and nothing compared to what happened with Superstorm Sandy.
