Storm cleanup cost at Erie Cemetery estimated at $500,000 minimum
Erie Cemetery has weathered heavy snow and ice and wind in its 175 years, but nothing like the storm that brought down at least 100 trees on the grounds overnight on Sept. 2-3. Trees uprooted or cleaved by sustained 70 mph winds blocked driveways, took down sections of the cemetery's wrought iron fence, exposed some vaults and destroyed a columbarium. An unknown number of monuments and headstones were toppled or damaged. "We won't know how many were damaged until the trees are removed and we can see what's underneath," said David Rinderle, the cemetery's chief operating officer. Cemetery mausoleums had only minor damage, including a broken skylight, Rinderle said. The retaining wall around the "Vampire Crypt" was broken. Additional trees damaged by the storm will have to be removed. The total loss — including two sycamore trees and others that stood when the cemetery opened in 1850 — is likely to approach several hundred trees. The cemetery remains closed.

Timing out today’s severe weather potential
With summertime temperatures, we’ve got summertime weather ahead. That’s because severe weather will become possible late this afternoon. A warm front moving through our area has given us a few sprinkles, especially in our northern viewing area. As that dissipates this morning, a dry, partly cloudy midday will follow with temperatures skyrocketing into the mid-80s. Rain and thunderstorms will approach by the late afternoon ahead of a cold front. Activity has trended a bit faster recently, with storms projected to move into the area during a rough window between 5 pm and 10 pm. For these reasons, our area is under a level 2/5 severe weather outlook as published by the U.S. Storm Prediction Center, with the main severe weather threat consisting of damaging winds and an isolated tornado. Temperatures overnight will drop into the mid-60s.
