Wilmington Hard Hit With Multiple Reports Of Downed Trees

WILMINGTON, MA -- While much of the attention on Friday's storm has been focussed on seaside towns bracing for coastal flooding, Wilmington is also feeling the smack of the Nor'Easter ripping through the area. Wilmington Police posted a photo Friday afternoon showing extensive damage from a downed limb on Jones Avenue. Meanwhile, police said a fallen tree was blocking Reed Street, and Aldrich Street was closed to thru traffic as crew removed limbs.

There were multiple reports of limbs and tress down throughout Wilmington, including one that hit a house on the corner of Woburn and Wildwood Streets.There were no injuries when a tree fell into a house on Shawsheen Avenue, according to Wilmington Police.

While Reading Municipal Light Department was not reporting any active outages in Wilmington at 3 pm, that was likely to change given the heavy winds that were expected to continue through the evening. Wilmington police were reminding residents to not approach any downed power lines.
