Storm roars through

By Leeann Tanner - Staff Writer

Two waves of strong and severe thunderstorms swept through Morehead early Monday afternoon, leaving trees and debris everywhere.

Jeff Carico, a spokesman for the National Weather Service in Jackson, said a cold front pushed the storm system through the area, but will bring clear and dry conditions, and cooler temperatures for the rest of the week.

“It looks like, from the radar, that one storm came through Morehead around noon,” Carico said. “The second one pushed through around 1 p.m.”

Along with heavy downpours, Morehead received dime-sized hail, strong winds and lightening. No lightening strikes were reported, but tree debris was reported down on one house and one power line, the weather service reported.

Cleanup crews were busy throughout downtown and on the campus of Morehead State University after the storm system had passed. Many branches and leaves littered streets and yards. Trees were down at Meadowbrook Drive, Lyons Avenue, East and West Second Street, and Main Street at the Dehner and Ellis law office and the Morehead Christian Church, just to name a few.

The National Weather Service in Jackson will be providing SKYWARN spotter training to anyone that is interested in becoming a weather spotter. A weather spotter provides a vital service to the NWS and to his/her community by providing actual “Ground Truth.” Spotters generally report significant events such as damaging winds, heavy rain, tornadic activity, ice and snow, along with other events that have an impact on the forecast or the safety of the community. To get more information on upcoming classes, contact the NWS at 606-666-2560, ext. 726.
