A veterans organization in Monroe County is hoping to be able to help more struggling servicemen and women with a new program. It’s called "Walk in Wednesday."

Disabled Navy Veteran Nicholas Spienza recently found himself going through a divorce and starting over with nothing.

Spienza says, "I found myself homeless basically for a majority of the entire summer, until I found myself into a shelter."

He and his girlfriend were then able to get a place to stay but didn’t have the means to furnish it for Spienza’s three children.

Spienza says, "They would’ve had nowhere to stay. It would’ve been really difficult to convince my ex to let them come."

That changed thanks to the Valor Clinic Foundation in Monroe County’s West End.

Last night's wind storm brings down trees and power lines across the region.

Several roads were blocked by the downed trees and branches, and thousands of power outages were reported.

And it caused a scary situation for one homeowner in Stroud Township.

Stroud Township Resident Joseph MacIntire says, "Brrrrrroooom, just like a jet engine trying to get off the ground and it looked the same way with the flames. It was scary."

This is what MacIntire is describing. He says the flames were six foot and continuously moving as each power line fell down in front of his home on Totts Gap Hill Road last night just before 10. 

MacIntire says, "The wind picked up and the next thing we know, the fires picked up all over the place. The tree was on fire, everything was burning."
