UNIONTOWN, Pa. (AP) _ Crews are cleaning up at a Fayette County mobile home park where 30 homes have been damaged by high winds.

Residents say the damage was caused by a strong thunderstorm that moved through the area after 9 p.m. Monday. No serious injuries are being reported at Strickland Estates in Georges Township. That's just southwest of Uniontown.


Five homes have been destroyed and residents say winds were so strong that some homes have been blown off their foundations and doors have been blown off their hinges.

Other trailers have lost their roofs and a two-by-four penetrated the wall of one home.

More strong storms are forecast for the area and other parts of extreme southwestern Pennsylvania on Tuesday.
