Overview
- A large tree at 20th Street and Greenfield Avenue fell during Tuesday's early storms, crushing at least three cars and blocking the road.
- A driver on his way to work said heavy rain and low visibility kept him from seeing the obstruction before he hit it, and he was not injured.
- As of 7:29 a.m., the blockage remained and 12 News had not seen police or public works directing traffic at the scene.
- Across the region, trees blocked roads at 36th and Mitchell and in Wauwatosa, and strong winds ripped a billboard near 27th and Euclid.
- Officials urged drivers to avoid downed trees and power lines, warning that cleanup will slow travel until crews clear debris.
