In brief: Fallen tree disrupts power
A large tree came crashing down across Menoher Boulevard near Haynes Street Monday night, knocking out power to lower Kernville and destroying a billboard, the Johnstown Fire Department said.
A Penelec crew responding to the scene was able to restore some of the power lost when the tree pulled down a 13,000-volt line, fire Capt. Neil Crossen said.
A block of Menoher Boulevard between Haynes and South streets would be closed until this morning while Penelec makes repairs to its equipment, he said.
The tree smashed the billboard on its way down with the top of the tree come to rest against a warehouse on the opposite side of the street, he said.
The warehouse was not damaged.
