Downed trees blocked traffic on Fitzhugh Avenue
Downed trees and flashing traffic lights slowed commutes in Oak Lawn this morning after Thursday’s storm.
City crews were out working around the area after Oak Lawn received more than 3 1/2 inches of rain accompanied by winds up to 70 miles per hour. Parts of Turtle Creek Boulevard were still closed Friday because of debris blocking the road. Portions of the street flooded for a short time as the stream rose out of its banks.
