Wind damage was first observed near a residence on Farmington|Road, knocking down and snapping several trees in a narrow swath.|The tornado then continued over railroad tracks and a cornfield, |where a notable convergent pattern was observed. From there, the |tornado proceeded eastward toward the South DuPont Highway, but |not before causing damage to a business where metal roofing was |peeled off. Several snapped trees were also noted on the property.|Subsequently, the tornado crossed Gun and Rod Club Road where |another area of trees were downed, with numerous branches across |the roadway. South of Williamsville Road along Hogtown Road, a |residence was damaged when a tree fell on to the roof. On the |other side of the road, a corn field was present with a notable |divergent pattern observed. This damage, south of the tornado |track, was likely due to a RFD surge. The tornado then crossed a |large wooded area with damage again observed to a property on the |east side of the wooded area along Hunting Quarter Road. Numerous |trees were snapped on the property with damage also occuring to a |house due to a downed tree limb. Power lines were also knocked |down.

It is nearing 11pm and we have not had power since 2pm today. Centerpoint claims to be assessing the outage on its recording but according to an article I just read, centerpoint stated they would be assessing the outage at 6am 01/25/23. Which is it?

Cassy | January 24, 2023  

Pitiful! Who are you going to blame this one on. Sorry Abbott, Patrick, Cruz and Cornyn this is on you. Ask your residents and voters if they prefer backup support to your sorry excuse of an electric grid.

SJF | May 29, 2021
