ARENZVILLE, IL | HOME OF THE WORLD'S BEST BURGOO

Cornfields west of Arenzville were flattened by a windstorm on Aug. 12, 1999.

The front walk to Bob Schnake's house is blocked by a fallen tree.

Maple trees down in the yard at the Wolke home (former Engelbach or Fricke house at the corner of Main and Henrietta Streets.)

The trunk snapped from the tree at the right landed on the roof of Bob Stock's house.

Roger Osborne's truck was smashed by the trunk of a falling tree, just moments before he was going to drive it to work.

Equipment and men from Littleton Brothers volunteered their help. Greg Littleton is at the controls of the heavy equipment.

Several truckloads of downed trees were cleaned up by dozens of volunteers all around town.

Crews from Littleton Brothers helped with the heavy work.

Working with somewhat smaller equipment, Adam H. helps out in his dad's yard.
