Flash flooding and high winds have been the story for last few days, especially yesterday afternoon and last night, but the majority of the county escaped serious storm damage after thunderstorms came through the area off and on all day and night.

Local schools, county government, and businesses, and churches were either canceled or closed early yesterday, due to the forecast of severe weather with timing coming during heavy school, rush hour, or church times. However, the forecast changed repeatedly throughout the day. While one area of the county may have had no activity, other parts were getting plastered with heavy wind and rains that included hail.

Corey Simmons, a Wingfield resident, submitted this video from a bedroom window in his home on Wingfield Church Road overlooking the Green River. This shelf cloud rolled in and brought plenty of wind and rain behind.

Brandon Summers submitted the video below from Bee Spring, which shows the force of the thunderstorm in that area from around 3PM. You can see a large portion of a tree downed on a building.

Several roads in the county are closed due to flooding, which include Grassland, Black Gold, and Cedar Grove Church Roads.

Local fire departments made several runs last night for downed limbs and trees across roadways. No injuries have been reported as of yet.

A milder forecast is expected for the next few days.
