Storms Cause Power Outages, Down Trees, Damage Homes
April 5, 2011
A line of storms that moved through the North Escambia area Monday night caused minor damage — including downed trees and power outages.
Hundreds were left without power across the area, with outages reported in Molino, Century, Cantonment, Walnut Hill, Atmore and Flomaton. Many were still without power at daybreak Tuesday.
In Walnut Hill, a large portion of an oak tree crashed into the roof of a mobile home on Juniper Street, just north of Arthur Brown Road. There were little damage to the home, and there were no injuries. The Walnut Hill Station of Escambia Fire Rescue assisted the residents in removing the tree from the home.
Trees and power lines were reported down near Jacks Branch and Muscogee Roads in the Cantonment area. One tree was reported to be on fire. Power lines were reported down on Country Road 97 near West Kingsfield Road about 10:45 p.m. The Cantonment Station of Escambia Fire Rescue responded.
Dime to penny size hail was reported in Chumuckla in Santa Rosa County.
In Escambia County, Alabama, numerous trees were reported down north of Brewton in the Appleton community.
A trained weather spotter reported a wind gust of 55 mph on Creighton Road in Pensacola. A tree was reported down in the area. An official wind gust of 53 mph was reported by the National Weather Service.
On Diamond Street in Pace, a tree was reported down on a mobile home. Eight people were evacuated from the residence and assisted by the American Red Cross.
