Some Damage Reported In Lyon County After Wednesday Storms


A line of severe thunderstorms rolled across western Kentucky Wednesday afternoon prompting several warnings in the area, including in the counties of Caldwell, Christian, Crittenden, Hopkins, Lyon, Trigg and Webster.
Emergency Management Director Joey McCaslin tells Your News Edge there have been no reports of damages as severe storms pushed across Caldwell County. He says the weather sirens in Fredonia were activated after a trained weather spotter reported some rotation in a wall cloud in the Fredonia area, but it did not develop. Pennyrile Electric was reporting around 130 customers without power in Caldwell County as of late afternoon.
Elsewhere, Lyon County Sheriff Brent White says there are numerous trees and power lines down across the county as well as one home that was damaged in Kuttawa due to a fallen tree.

After the severe storms, Pennyrile Electric was reporting around 1,300 customers without power in Lyon County, while Kenergy was reporting around 150 in Lyon County.
