Storm, high winds batter Clarksville
February 12, 2009
Repairing a power line severed by flying metal roofing
Clarksville Department of Electricity and Street Department crews are continuing the work of cleaning up and restoring power after a hefty line of storms and high winds swept through Middle Tennessee.
After repairing primary lines and transformers, crews are now working to restore power to individual homes and businesses affected by the storm. That work should be completed by Friday.
A line of severe weather slammed into Clarksville Wednesday with a mix of brief but torrential rain and winds in excess of 60 mph, causing widely scattered power outages, downed tree limbs and some structural damage.
In downtown Clarksville, Street Department crews in wet weather gear worked to clear a fallen tree from College Street even as winds continued to howl and rip roofing shingles off the “Biscuit Company” building. Throughout the downtown area smaller branches were riding the winds, and traffic lights and street signs were battered and bent. In some areas, roofing shingles were fluttering like flags and being ripped from rooftops. Several globes on some of the city’s ornate street lamps off College Street were shattered. A stockade fence was partially blown down. At the Goble Law Firm, awnings on both sides of the building were shredded. [Read more]
