A storm hit Douglas Saturday evening, carrying with it wind gust of up to 55 miles per hour. The Douglas Fire Department reported several reports of downed power lines, a roof collapse and fence fire. Threes weer also knocked down or uprooted (left, at 15th Street Park) and the winds blew down a storage shed located next to the gym at Douglas High School. The storm also knocked out electricity to many homes throughout the area. Cochise College also lost electricity for the weekend. It was restored yesterday.
