Two-person Disaster Relief Teams were sent to Hillsboro and Damascus, where families were rudely pushed from their homes after large trees came crashing down on their houses during the storm.
The residents have been placed in area hotels and provided Red Cross Client Assistance Cards, which allow for the purchase of food and other necessities, until other arrangements can be made and repairs begun.
No injuries were reported.
