Another Visit From Mother Nature

Fallen limbs from last weeks storm have just barely been cleaned up, and Mother Nature decided to do more littering this morning.

However, the City of Crystal Lake reports that limbs and branches will continue to be removed in areas blocking access to homes and businesses.

As of 11 this morning all roads are open. All traffic lights are functionally normally. Limbs and branches will continue to be removed in areas blocking access to homes and businesses.
Along with this information, the City also offers other safety warnings

Storm Cleanup ScamsCrystal Lake Police are warning residents about weather-related scams. In these, police say one person lures the resident out of the home by offering to help with storm damage cleanup while another person goes inside the home to steal belongings. The thieves sometimes identify themselves as electrical workers or handymen


The advice from Crystal Lake Police:
1-Be on guard and not become districted when someone they do not know approaches them unsolicited.
2-Request to see identification if someone comes to the door
3-Keep doors locked and garages closed at all times. Anyone who feels uncomfortable should go inside the house, lock the doors, and dial 9 1 1.
