Delray Power Outages Caused by Weather
Events
A powerful storm tracked across southern Hampshire County on July 12th, 2022, producing a 23-mile long by 9-mile wide swath of extensive tree and property damage. The vast majority of this damage was associated with a macroburst as a bowing storm and associated rear-inflow jet tracked across the county. Winds within this 9-mile wide swath were estimated to be between 60 and 105 MPH.||After the storm progressed over Short Mountain, it moved eastward toward Delray. Within the valley east of Short Mountain, sporadic tree damage was noted as far north as around 4 miles north of Delray, but much more extensive tree damage was observed from Delray southward to Rio (a 5-mile wide swath). This damage was maximized in a community to the west of WV-29 Delray Road about 1.5 miles south of Delray, with extensive damage noted along both Wild Dog Pass and Buck Run. Hundreds of healthy trees were snapped and uprooted within this neighborhood, some of which fell on structures and vehicles. Some roads in this neighborhood were inaccessible due to downed wires and snapped power poles.||Extensive damage was also noted at a residence just to the south of Wild Dog Pass along WV-29 Delray Road. A load bearing pillar of the house was blown out by the wind, and a large enclosed trailed was blown up and over a vehicle, then about 100 yards down a hill. A nearby barn was blown over, as well, and another nearby home lost part of its roof. Winds in this area were estimated to be between 80 and 100 MPH.
