As storms continued to roll through the area Wednesday, damage spread into the Portage area. One Portage family was outside their East Carroll Street home Wednesday afternoon inspecting damage from a massive tree that fell in their backyard. It crushed a shed and branches punched holes in the tops of the house and the garage. “We were standing there talking and I heard some weird crackling and felt some slight shaking,” said Sam Horton, who was visiting his in-laws, “and the next thing I know, I see leaves coming by the window: ‘Tree’s coming down! There goes the porch!’” The tree took out the power and cable for the house, but it was well after the storm had passed, with no lightning or high winds.
