Gustav Lacks Gusto In North Escambia
September 2, 2008
Hurricane Gustav rained out more than a few Labor Day Barbecues in North Escambia, but overall it led to few problems in our immediate area.
Rain bands from Gustav contained storms that were observed rotating on radar, prompting the National Weather Service to issued about a half dozen different tornado warnings Monday morning. Possible tornadoes were observed on radar near Molino, Barrineau Park, Walnut Hill, Molino, Enon and Cantonment, but funnel clouds were never reported to have reached the ground in the area. There were no injuries or damage reported from the possible tornadoes.
A weather station in Molino reported a wind gust of 37 mph, while a weather station at Century reported a wind gust of 29 mph. Rain totals were from half an inch to almost two inches across the area.
Scattered power outages were reported across North Escambia by both Gulf Power and Escambia River Electric Cooperative. Most outages were brief in duration, with power crews able to quickly restore service to most customers.
No other major problems were reported across the North Escambia area.
