Riversiders who emerged from their homes after a supercell storm blew through the area on June 13 could tell immediately that it wasn’t your garden variety event. Last week, Village Forester Michael Collins and a representative from ComEd gave residents and local officials a clearer picture of the damage the village sustained. “I think it was really a challenging time for our [public works] department and the entire village,” Collins told elected officials during a report at the Sept. 15 meeting of the village board. “In my 18 years here as the forester I’ve never seen damage at that level.” ALEX ROGALS/Staff Photographer
