Isaias has moved through our area after bringing down several trees and leaving many citizens in the dark.  As of 9 a.m., approximately 35 trees were reported down, with six of them in structures, resulting in varying degrees of damage.

Later this afternoon, York County will stand down from its emergency storm response mode, but will follow-up with those situations that caused property damage.
