A cleanup effort and damage assessment is underway in Poplar and Brockton after a severe Friday night storm, caused by a possible bow-echo with 85 mph winds, hit the area. A bow-echo is a bow-shaped radar signature associated with fast-moving storm systems accompanied by damaging winds. The city of Poplar and the Fort Peck Tribes have declared disaster areas for their communities and met with Region 8 FEMA officials in a conference call Monday to request help from the federal agency for cleanup and repair funds.
