Diamondhead Power Outages Caused by Weather
Events
Media relayed report of a power pole down on Highway 603 north of I-10 in Hancock County.
The county experienced widespread tree damage and minor to moderate structure damage due to Ida���s winds and 4 confirmed tornadoes. Most signs along South Beach Blvd were also blown down or damaged. In total, county damage assessments indicate 96 public roads suffered damage along with 13 publicly owned buildings and 60 homes, including one mobile home that was completely destroyed. At the peak, roughly 6400 customers were without power due to the storm.
Zeta produced hurricane force winds with wind gusts nearing or exceeding 100 mph, especially near the coast. Away from the coast, most places experienced sustained tropical storm force winds with at least a few hurricane force wind gusts. Zeta's winds resulted in widespread damage across the county including snapped|trees, downed power lines and power poles. At the peak, about 77 percent of the county was without power. Hundreds of homes and dozens of businesses were also damaged, some from falling trees. One home collapsed when its 18ft pilings gave way in the wind. However, inspection of the structure suggests the pilings were not|properly reinforced. The county ordered mandatory evacuations of low lying areas near the coast and opened several shelters.
Hancock County Sheriff's Department reported numerous trees down along with power outages across much of the county.
Power lines were blown down at Hugh Lee Road and Road 228.
