Storm damage rated as light Neosho fire Chief Greg Hickman said firefighters were called at 7:35 a.m. Friday to a garage fire at 1224 Peterson Road when light smoke was noticed coming from the structure’s attic. Hickman said lightning apparently had struck the garage’s breaker box.
The power to the detached garage was shut off and the fire extinguished, Hickman said. Rain amounts from the storms varied considerably across the region. Cramer said there were several locations that received more than an inch. Others received very little rain, he said. About an inch of rain was reported two miles west of Diamond, just a half inch five miles south of Carthage. The Joplin airport received two-tenths of an inch of rain. “But I can guarantee you the south side of Joplin got a lot more than that,” Cramer said. The forecast for the Joplin area this weekend is dominated by a warming trend, with temperatures expected to reach 85 today and about 87 on Sunday, he said. There’s a chance of “pop-up” thunderstorms in the region Sunday afternoon and continuing next week, he said. Downed limbs Joplin residents have three options for disposing of downed tree limbs, according to Joplin’s recycling coordinator. They can be cut to lengths of 4 feet or less, bundled and left for regular trash pickup. Limbs of greater size can be delivered from 8 a.m. to 2 p.m. Monday through Thursday and on Saturdays to the Allied Waste Services transfer station on Old Route 66 in Galena, Kan. Professional tree-trimming and hauling services also may be hired.
