Storms Leave Thousands Without Power, Cause Minor Damage In North Escambia
April 25, 2021
Some North Escambia residents were without power for over 12 hours Saturday after storms moved through the area, and some minor damage was reported.
At daybreak Saturday, over 3,700 Escambia River Electric customers were without power in Escambia and Santa Rosa counties; that’s about one-third of the entire EREC customer base.
Minor damage was reported across North Escambia — mostly downed trees and power lines, some minor damage to structures and lots of tossed lawn furniture and outdoor items.
Outside of North Escambia, more significant structural damage was reported in Huxford, Alabama, north of Atmore, and damage was reported in other areas including Brewton and Jay. There were no reports of any injuries.
