Storm rips through Lincoln Park and Allen Park, leaving businesses condemned, trees down

Strong winds and heavy rain tore through Lincoln Park early Wednesday, leaving businesses shuttered, trees uprooted and residents spending the day cleaning up the aftermath. A brick building at a strip mall on Dix Highway and Outer Drive suffered significant damage, with brick crumbling off the side; windows smashed and debris scattered across the parking lot. Lincoln Park Fire Chief Michael Prinz confirmed the situation had escalated beyond simple storm cleanup.
