A storm that wreaked havoc on DeWitt County left significant damage in its wake throughout the county.

DeWitt County Sheriff Mike Walker tells Regional Radio a tree on Rt 10 west of Clinton was the most significant rural damage he encountered - and there was plenty of it to survey.

During live coverage of the post-storm, Sheriff Walker was just getting into Wapella and told Regional Radio it looked like they had suffered the worst of the storm in DeWitt County.

The Sheriff advises if you're going to go out this afternoon or this evening, be careful and be aware of any potential down trees that may have live wires attached to them.

The National Weather Service advised there was no severe weather expected after 5 pm.

Regional Radio was also informed West Side Access Road was closed for a short time with three trees that were knocked down. It re-opened around 2:45 pm Thursday.

The DeWitt County Courthouse closed for the day Thursday due to no power.
