Storm leaves widespread damage throughout Warren
After a storm ripped through the Warren area on Tuesday, trees and tents in the Courthouse Square area were left on the ground.
After a storm ripped through the Valley on Tuesday, the downtown Warren area was left with widespread damage.
Tents set up for the farmer's market as well as for the Italian Festival in Courthouse Square were blown away.
People were there setting up for the festival that's set to start on Thursday. We're told two men who were setting up got hurt when some flying debris hit them.
As of right now, organizers say the festival will still go on.
The storm even blew out the front window of the Trumbull Art Gallery, which damaged some photographs, and took off a portion of the Hippodrome's roof.
A representative from the National Weather Service was in the area after the storm to survey the damage.
Our Chief Meteorologist Eric Wilhelm tweeted a viewer video that shows the intense winds the moment the storm hit.
