Special Weather Statement Strong Thunderstorms
June 14, 2010
(Updated 4:50 p.m.) Strong thunderstorms are moving through the North Escambia area this afternoon. The National Weather Service has issued a special weather statement as follows:
..A cluster of strong thunderstorms will affect Baldwin and
Escambia counties…
At 446 PM CDT…National Weather Service Doppler radar indicated
cluster of strong thunderstorms from 5 miles west of century to 2
miles west of Barth…moving west at 15 mph.
This line of storms will affect areas in and around…
Oak Grove…Barrineau Park…Bratt…Walnut Hill and Gateswood
through 530 PM CDT.
The primary threats from these storms are small hail…frequent
lightning…and wind gusts of 45 to 55 mph. Winds this strong could
bring down dead or diseased trees and large limbs resulting in
serious injury or property damage. Local loss of electrical power may
result from downed power lines. Exercise extreme caution when
outdoors during such strong winds…or seek shelter in a safe home or
building until these storms have passed.
These storms could produce rainfall amounts of 1 to 2 inches in a
short period of time…resulting in brief ponding of water around
low lying and poor drainage areas. Remember…do not drive your
vehicle into water covered roadways. The depth may be too great to
allow a safe crossing.

William,
My power is off and I do not want to use the wall phone during lightening. Things are falling on my roof. I am in Enon. Can you find out if anyone else is without power? Limbs are hitting my roof.
