On August 27, 2011 at 6:17 PM the Pocomoke City Volunteer Fire Company was called to assist Pocomoke City Public works with a tree on a residence. 

 As a result of the high winds and heavy rains caused by Hurricane Irene at the time a  large tree in the yard of a residence on 10th Street split into two sections causing one half to fall onto the home while the other section blocked 10th Street.

According to Chief Dick Gladding the residents were home at the time and stated that they heard a  loud POP!

No in the home was injured but could not stay in the home due to safety reasons.
