The Wednesday Storm Damaged 7 homes, 2 heavily. October-December are active storm months says EMA.

 

Cumberland Co. Emergency Management Agency has released photos and information on Wednesday night's storm damage and reminds residents that October to December is the second most active storm season of the year.

Families are encouraged to have two ways of receiving emergency notifications and a plan to take cover in the event of an emergency. 

According to radar, the October 6 storm traveled south to north over Lake Tansi and the CIty of Crossville. Damage was reported on Rye Woody Rd., Lawson Rd. and Tabor Loop before traveling on to Woody and Rinnie then into Fentress Co. 

No injuries were reported to citizens or responders. Seven homes sustained damage with two heavily damaged. Photos and information has been submitted to the National Weather Service in Nashville to determine the type and intensity of the storm. 

Over 1000 Volunteer Electric customers were without power after the storm knocked down lines and trees in the area but most power was restored by Thursday morning.
