Waterford Power Outages Caused by Weather
Events
An intense line of thunderstorms or Derecho moved across Knox County during the late afternoon of June 29th causing extensive damage. Winds were estimated to be as much as 65 mph. Over 50 percent of residents lost power during this event. Power was not completely restored for several days. Hundreds of trees were downed across the county along with many utility poles forcing the closure of some of roads and streets. Damage to homes and buildings was also extensive. Dozens of homes and buildings lost roofing or siding with many other homes damaged by fallen trees. Clean up costs were extensive. The clean up was hampered by an ongoing heat wave with afternoon temperatures in the upper 90s. Significant crop losses are also expected. Damage from this storm was comparable to the remnants of Hurricane Ike in September 2008.
The tornado occurred on County Route 32 near the old power plant in Waterford. On its one mile trek, the tornado destroyed a barn, threw a piece of wood from the barn through the wall of a house and into its kitchen, and shifted several trailers, cottages, and outbuildings off their foundations. The storm deposited roofing debris on the other side of the Muskingum River, in the town of Beverly.
