WIND REACHED 90 TO 100 MPH

Rusty Jessen, left, removes a branch that Dennis Davis, both with Pro Stump Removal and Tree Service, cut from an oak tree Monday at a home on Valley West Drive in Rogers. The oak fell onto a nearby hickory tree during Saturday’s tornado. The crew was taking extra care to remove the oak so it wouldn’t break free from the hickory and land on the house.
There was no warning for the Saturday storm that splintered fences, damaged buildings and spiraled down 52nd Street in west Rogers and into the northeastern portion of the county.
