Just after 5:30 p.m. a storm hit Chatham-Kent that left trees downed and some without power.

Eastbound traffic is being re-routed along McNaughton Avenue East, between Glenwood and Victoria after a tree fell on a house.

A tree was down on Delaware Avenue, near King George School, that blocked traffic.

Another tree fell across power lines and was removed by firefighters on Elizabeth Street just south of Selkirk Street. Power to that home was lost and should be restored by 9 p.m.

42 hydro-one customers are without power on Winter Line Road, north of Pain Court Line. Power to that area should be restored by 8:45 p.m.

No-injuries were reported in the storm.
