Power Outage in Jamestown, KY

A very pronounced bowing segment cut southeast across Russell County during the early morning hours on Monday. This area of surging wind caused widespread tree damage in the Jamestown area.||The survey team focused on areas with the heaviest damage which were all south of Jamestown. The first area of considerable damage was at Jamestown Boat Storage on the west side of State Road 92. One of their large multi bay buildings had 5 southwest |facing oversized garage doors damaged. This allowed wind to get into the structure causing parts of the roof to collapse and other parts to blow off. The southeast wall sheet metal was also blown out. Half of the roof was completely gone over 9 bays, and |on the northeast side of the building the whole roof was down over 5 bays. Another storage building, to the southeast, on the same property had a few damaged garage doors and a small area of roof damage above the doors. ||Less than a mile farther south on State Road 92, Stripers Boat Storage had 4 northwest facing garage doors blown in and damaged. Wind that made it into the building blew out 2 southeast facing doors. On the southwest side of the building, there were a couple snapped and uprooted mature trees facing to the southeast. Across the road on Lily Creek Ramp Road, Cumberland Boat Storage had at least 9 bays of their western most building completely destroyed. Wind blew in the doors on the northwest side of the building before blowing off the roof structure and walls. Nothing was left standing on the southwest side of the building. ||A little farther south, a concentrated area of tree damage stretched along a southwest to northeast axis which was along area ridge tops. Along these ridges many roads including Oak Road, Carriage Lane, Pumpkin Creek Road, Harbor Springs and a few |others there were hundreds of large mature trees that were snapped and uprooted, many of which brought down area power lines and poles. Many trees fell on houses causing major damage. A few houses on Pumpkin Creek Road were completely destroyed due to multiple trees falling on them. All the downed trees in the area |fell to the southeast. No definitive convergence was observed.||The last of the damage was observed just under a mile farther south on Harbor Springs Road. Large uprooted trees were a common sight. This brought down power lines and poles, but the damage wasn't nearly as concentrated as that along Pumpkin Creek Road.
