Wheaton Works To Clean Downed Trees, Debris As More Storms Expected

WHEATON, IL — Crews are working to removed downed trees and clean up debris after the severe thunderstorm that swept through Wheaton Wednesday afternoon.

It's anticipated the cleanup could take "multiple days," according to an update from city officials. This timeline could be further delayed if storms forecasted over the next few days cause additional damage.

Residents with fallen trees or limbs in their city-owned parkways or on city roads can follow the link to report parkway tree storm damage.

For damage to privately-owned property, the city recommends contacting a landscaping service or collecting their own debris to be collected with curbside yard waste pickup.

More severe weather was forecasted for Thursday, including the possibility of "strong tornadoes."
