High winds swept through the Henryetta area late Sunday night leaving a trail of broken limbs and downed trees behind. Electric service was interrupted for about 1,500 people when a PSO feeder line at Fourth and Barclay was hit by falling limbs. That knocked out power for around an hour. The strong winds ripped the roofs off the baseball and softball visitor's dugouts. At the baseball field, the roof material was thrown into the McDonald's drive-through striking a light pole and knocking it down. Several massive tree limbs were blown down across streets blocking them for a short time. Some of the more visible damage downtown was the flag poles attached to street light poles. A number of the flags were nearly ripped from their staffs while others were bent nearly double.

Only a couple of weeks remain until all the ghosts, ghouls and goblins come out to show off their scariest best.
The annual Henryetta Main Street Halloween march is going to be held from 3:30 to 5 p.m. October 31.

Staff members at the Henryetta hospital kept the Pink Out theme going this past week. The pink shirts, plants and other acourtrements demonstrated their support of the effort to battle breast cancer.

Henryetta school is in the process of soliciting bids for the new gym floor that will replace the one damaged by a water leak shortly after the start of the school year.
When installed, the new floor will look similar to the preliminary artists' drawing shown above. It is expected to cost nearly $400,000 and school officials hope to have it ready shortly after the start of the basketball season. 
The schedule is in the process of being reworked to hold some away games in place of the games at home.
