High winds blew off a section of roof from a building in the 200 block of Spring Street in St. Marys on Tuesday afternoon. It landed on an unoccupied parked car. No one was injured by the roofing or the chimney bricks that also tumbled onto the sidewalk. Police barricades were removed later in the afternoon.
