episode_narrativeThunderstorms erupted in an unstable atmosphere during the late afternoon and early evening. Many of the storms or short line segments evolved into bow echoes, leaving a considerable amount of wind damage in their wake. Winds were estimated between 75 and 100 mph in several locations. However, most of the wind damage was limited to downed trees and power lines, though extensive in many areas causing considerable power outages and blocking many roads. Two people were injured by trees which fell on them and one person drowned when his boat was blown away from where he was swimming.
event_narrativeLightning struck a nearby tree, ran into a house, and ignited a fire which burned the house and its contents.
