| Episode Narrative | A strong low pressure center lifted northeast from the southern Plains into the Great Lakes. A tight pressure gradient resulted in strong southerly winds ahead of an associated dry line and pressure trough which pushed eastward through the Tennessee Valley. A broken line of showers and isolated thunderstorms developed along the dry line during the late morning hours, and swept rapidly east across the Tennessee Valley during the early afternoon hours. Although a couple of reports of wind damage occurred with the showers and thunderstorms, the more prominent impact was due to damaging non-thunderstorm winds ahead of and immediately behind the dry line passage. Numerous trees were blown down resulting in sporadic power outages. There were also a few reports of minor roof damage and a couple of car accidents due to the high winds. |
| Event Narrative | A sustained period of high winds knocked down trees and power lines across the county. Power was knocked out for about 41 minutes in portions of Decatur affecting nearly 4800 customers, including the Decatur Mall. A roof was blown off of a mobile home in Eva. A tree was also knocked down onto a mobile home on Fieldcrest Drive in Somerville. A large tree was knocked down onto County Road 55 and Evergreen Road while a smaller tree was knocked down at Gandy's Cove. Another tree was knocked down onto Mill Creek Road. |
