Those sounds were replaced Sunday morning with buzzing chainsaws and a wood chipper.

Though downed trees and utility lines were reported throughout Chautauqua County, it was a small section of Old Fluvanna Road — near Route 430 — that appears to have received the most damage.

“It’s scary. It looks like a bomb went off over here,” said Paul Ernewein, a lifelong area resident, as he looked over a neighboring property. “It looks like a whole different environment now.”

Dotted along the road Sunday were uprooted trees and damaged roofs. With daylight, tree service crews were busy removing debris from several properties; wood was fed through a chipper brought to the scene, while large trees were cut down and placed on a truck to be hauled away.

According to a spokesman from the National Weather Service in Buffalo, the damage in Fluvanna was likely the result of straight-line winds. Officials did not see any indication of a tornado, the spokesman said.

One resident of Old Fluvanna Road was forced to stay at a hotel as crews worked to clear trees and debris from her home. The resident, who has lived in the area for 65 years, said she went outside during the storm to look on a plant when a large tree fell in front of her.

“We were shocked. We were shocked,” she told The Post-Journal of her reaction to the damage caused by the storm.

“I am so disappointed,” she continued. “It’s such a beautiful house, and it had all these beautiful trees around it.”

Roger Zenisek has had a home on Old Fluvanna Road for 37 years. He was in Ohio when a friend called to inform him of the storm.

“They said they thought a little tornado came through here and sent me pictures of the house,” Zenisek said.

Asked of his first reaction when seeing his home, which sustained damage when a tree fell on it, Zenisek said: “Devastation.”

No injuries were reported as a result of the storm, police said Sunday. Elsewhere, Jamestown firefighters were called to reports of trees down in multiple locations, including one that blocked North Main Street between Fifth and Sixth streets.

Power was out in Falconer for several hours, prompting firefighters to direct traffic at several intersections. The Jamestown Board of Public Utilities said most power was restored to the village by 9:15 p.m.

Tim Lutgen, owner of Maple Springs Tree Service, said it’s been about five or six years since he last saw this amount of damage from one storm system. Lutgen said he had crews respond to Fluvanna, Westfield, Mayville and Chautauqua.

“It was a very sporadic storm,” he said. “It was very powerful when it hit.”
