Storm cleanup continues

Crews with the City of Cape Girardeau Public Works Department were still working to clean up debris from last week's severe storms Monday morning.

Debris from downed tree limbs is still common in yards and, in a few cases, in the road along streets like Brucher Street, just off Bertling, whereas of late morning tree limbs were blocking access on one end of the road.

At another nearby street, a cul-de-sac called Elfrink Drive, a pile of limbs was sitting in the middle of the cul-de-sac, though the road was still clear enough for traffic.

Public works crews were observed along Perryville Road cleaning up remaining debris just before noon. The Southeast Missourian is contacting public works department management to get a report on how much debris is left and when it will be cleaned up.

Check back this evening or read Tuesday's Southeast Missourian for more details on cleanup and the weather this week.
