PRESS PHOTO BY SHARON SCHRANTZThis very large tree is toppled by the storm March 16. A utility pole was brought down with the tree. The 2000 block of Jordan Road, Orefield, remained closed all week. Residents did not receive newspaper service or mail and school buses could not pick up or drop off students who live on this road. The township removed the tree March 20 with an immediate reinstallation of the utility pole by Verizon.
