It was a windy Wednesday for volunteer firefighters and road crews in and around Butler County.

Gusty winds were blamed for knocking trees down onto electrical lines and roads overnight Tuesday and Wednesday. But only minimal outages were reported, authorities said.

In Center Township, a tree limb fell onto and into a home. No one was injured.

But compared to some surrounding counties, Butler got off lightly.

“We really didn't have a lot of damage,” said Steve Bicehouse, the county's director of emergency services.

A National Weather Service wind advisory was in effect until 4 p.m. Wednesday for Butler County and most of Western Pennsylvania.

Steady winds of 15 to 25 mph occasionally gave way to gusts between 40 and 50 mph.

Just before 9 a.m. Wednesday, a tree came down on a power line at a home on Eau Claire Road in Venango Township. The accident led to a 911 call for a possible structure fire. The resident reported the “odor of electrical burning” in the house.

Members of the Eau Claire Volunteer Fire Department responded, but found no fire.

Earlier Wednesday morning, part of a wind-swept tree ended up through the roof of a home on Reed Lane in Center Township.

Emergency crews were sent out to calls for downed power lines on North Main Street Extension in Butler Township and on Route 38 in Concord Township at 12:15 and 1 a.m., respectively.

West Penn Power officials reported only two minor outages Wednesday morning in the county. A tree on power lines was blamed for one outage in the area of Shannon and Welsh roads in Connoquenessing Township.

The cause of the other outage, east of Needle Point Road in Forward Township, was not immediately known.

A tree brought down by the wind around 10:30 p.m. Tuesday briefly closed New Castle Road near the Evening Star Motel in Worth Township.

But before the road closure, a motorist ran over the tree and apparently got stuck.

The Slippery Rock Volunteer Fire and Rescue Team led the response. The road reopened once a PennDOT crew cleared the tree and debris from the road, said Slippery Rock Fire Chief Ryan Hanchosky.

The wicked wind wielded a wallop just over the Butler County line, too.

Around 8 p.m., multiple utility poles and wires were reportedly knocked down, closing Route 19 between Route 422 and Hunt Road in Slippery Rock Township, Lawrence County, for several hours.

“The poles and wires were taken down by a large tree,” said George Johnson, chief of the Slippery Rock Volunteer Fire Department.

He said firefighters manned the road closing and waited for Penn Power, Armstrong Cable and CenturyLink crews to arrive and make repairs.

Around midnight, PennDOT workers took over the detail from firefighters.
