Shower And Thunderstorm Coverage Increases

Sunday afternoon storms brought heavy rainfall, downed a few trees and led to scattered power outages in the North Escambia area.

One Pinedale Lane off West Roberts Road, a pine tree brought down power lines, leaving 17 homes without power (pictured below). One Pineville Road west of Walnut Hill, power lines were downed. The storms also brought  thousands of lightning strikes, like the Molino strike captured in the photo above. (Click here for the lightning video.)
