Lakeshore and fell onto a metal building housing a home business, putting a hole in the roof. Hamlin Township firefighters assisted at 2 locations where fallen trees ruptured gas lines. Several other residents in the area reported trees down on homes and trailers and screens blown out. Approximately 274 residents lost power during the storm.
