Wittenberg Power Outages Caused by Weather
Events
Thunderstorm winds downed or snapped numerous trees and downed power lines throughout Wittenburg. The Wittenberg-Birnamwood High School had about 75 feet of its rubber membrane roof and underlying foam insulation peeled from the west side of the gymnasium. Several large pine trees along the south side of the school were uprooted. A camper trailer was blown from its support pad and rolled about 40 feet before resting on its roof. Two of the three pools at the water treatment plant had portions of their plastic thermal covers blown off. Downed trees blocked State Highway 45 causing authorities to close the road for several hours. More than 140 homes were damaged, but damage to most of the homes was minor.
