Ledger photo / TIM GULLA Emergency workers fielded about 100 separate calls for downed power lines and trees on Wednesday as wind gusts of up to 45 mph cracked limbs and uprooted trees from soil saturated by rain. There were two reports of trees falling onto structures with this one on Brookwood Lane in Gaffney accounting for the worst of the damage. The large tree uprooted here sliced through a section of the home where a young woman and her 5-day-old baby had been sitting earlier in the day. Luckily, no one was injured but all of the baby's items, from a portable crib to a bouncy chair, were directly beneath the damaged section of the home.
