WILD WEATHER. A weekend of severe thunderstorms meant extra work for the York Department of Public Works, as well as York Water District employees and members of the York Police Department. Pictured here is a large oak tree that fell across Chase's Pond Road in the area of Chase's Pond after the first thunderstorm on Saturday. The tree completely blocked the road, but was quickly cut and removed from the travel lanes by the York Highway Department.
