STOW CREEK TWP.

— Strong winds whipped through Cumberland County Friday

afternoon, causing at least one farm to lose a grain silo and two barn doors to the violent gusts.

Lois Cruzan, one of the owners of Cruzandale Farms, said the wind claimed a 25-foot-tall empty grain silo, lifting it off its foundations and onto a farm truck, as well as a pair of metal and fiber glass barn doors.

“The wind didn’t blow anything into the doors — the wind shattered the fiber glass,” said Cruzan, speaking form her office on Cruzan Road. “The wind also blew a plastic tank from the back of the barn, over the barn, shattering the tank.”

Other damage: A flipped tractor trailer, metal panels torn from the roof of a barn and a small playground upended.

The Cruzan family called the Cumberland County Office of Emergency Management,

which responded to assess the damage.

Cruzan stated she has “no way of knowing” how much the wind damage will cost the farm.

“I have no way of answering that now,” she said. “We just have to wait for the insurance to get back to us.

“When it was all done, we didn’t really have to tie anything down — everything that could’ve been blown away already was.

“Nothing can be done about it now but just wait.”
