Events
The Putnam County emergency manager reported that a severe thunderstorm partially blew a roof off of a structure near Monterey and also knocked out power to the area. Damages are estimated.
A NWS storm survey found a severe 17 mile long by 1 mile wide downburst caused major wind damage along the Putnam/Overton County border from southwest of Rickman southeastward to around Monterey. Damage was first reported on Cindy Lane in northern Putnam County where trees were blown down. Numerous more trees were snapped and uprooted along Ben Mason Road just north of the county line in Overton County. The roof was blown off a large warehouse at a flea market on Highway 111, and a nearby outbuilding lost many wood panels on the outside walls. Dozens of large trees were also snapped and uprooted along Spring Creek Road in Rickman, with several falling on homes and vehicles. Farther to the east, a barn lost much of its roof on Highway 84 near Lewis Lane, and numerous trees and power lines were blown down along Highway 84 south of Boswell Road. Large trees were blown down and playground equipment destroyed in Whittaker Park in Monterey, and several more trees were blown down on Clinchfield Drive and Meadow Creek Road southeast of Monterey. Wind speeds were estimated up to 85 mph.
