Logan County Sheriff Randall Dodds said that downed trees, gas leaks, and fallen power lines have prevented first responders from accessing areas where assistance is needed the most.

The damage is mainly in the areas of Russell’s Point, Orchard Island, and Midway between Lakeview and Russel’s Point where a mobile home park is located.

Indian Lake Schools canceled classes on Friday and are open as shelter to those whose homes sustained damage in the storm.

Dodds is urging anyone who is not a first responder to leave the area so officials can provide help where it is needed.
