Wind damage in Lackawanna County

In the Scranton area, trees and wires are down all over.

Wind advisories and high wind warnings are in effect for all of northeastern and central Monday.

In the Green Ridge Shopping Plaza, all three shopping cart corrals flipped over, damaging several cars.

We spoke with shoppers who were inside the Giant at the time. They came out to find their car windows shattered.

"When I came out, I saw all this, and I thought, 'oh boy, that's bad.' I happened to look at my car, and oh," Charlie Popovich said.

"I was shocked. The guy told me, 'are you parked near any shopping cart holders?' I didn't think I was, I came out and saw that I was," Patrick Dougherty said.

On West Linden Street, the roof of a storage facility collapsed. There's damage to part of the building as well.

People who live on Pine Street say the wind woke them up first thing this morning, and before they knew it, trees were uprooted and fell on a house. The man who lives there was not home at the time, and neighbors say no one was hurt.

"I heard the commotion, the fire truck down there. I couldn't believe. This tree is enormous. I had no idea it was that big," Michael Mazzei said.
