February 28, 2017 - Tornado

This long-track tornado continued from White County, Illinois across the Wabash River into Posey County. The tornado was rated EF-2 throughout its path in Posey County. The tornado was about 220 yards wide when it crossed the Wabash River to Indiana Highway 69. Several small barns were destroyed, and most trees were snapped along the path. Power poles were snapped, and roads were blocked by debris. The Posey County portion of the path was almost entirely through agricultural land, resulting in damage to very few residences. The tornado crossed Interstate 64 west of Poseyville, leaving a path of flattened trees across the interstate. Just before the tornado crossed into Gibson County, an old house was shifted off its foundation. The tornado again strengthened to EF-3 intensity after crossing into Gibson County.

Power outage on Green Fish Hill? Been out an hour. Second time in as many days....

Anthony Thomas | August 31, 2020  

I watched the tree split in two, fall on a wire and watched the transformer spark, make a loud popping sound and most of the Fleetwood section of Mt Vernon go dark at 1pm, it’s now 1am, everyone’s apartments are like Suanas and only going to get worse. It’s 1am, 12 hours later and while a few coned trucks have driven past, nobody has moved a muscle to fix home bound people who are still working and schooling from home. Con Ed only says they know their is a problem but has no time table for repair. Customer service At it’s worst!
