Storm downs trees, barns on Tuesday afternoon High winds buffet much of Adair County Tuesday, July 22, 2008 With photos being added By Ed Waggener A thunderstorm accompanied by high winds swept across Adair County yesterday afternoon, leaving in its wake a trail of downed trees, roads blocked, and some building damage. The Adair County Road Department was called, early after the winds subsided to several spots were downed trees were blocking the roads. Among them, Lisa Lee, Administrative Assistant to Judge Ann Melton said, were Antioch Road, Chestnut Flats Road, Greenbriar Road, Oak Grove Road, Allen Schoolhouse Road, New Concord Road, and Old Glensfork Road. Heavy damage could be seen all up and down KY 206, where the storm's mischief included dozen's of plastic bouquets on graves sites in Haven Hill Cemetery being blown away and scattered eastward toward the radio station. At Garlin, the sign at Corner Corners Restaurant and Buffet was blown down, it's standards broken like matchsticks. Trees and limbs were off along the roadway. Signs were blown over at Bob's Country Kitchen & General Store at Vester. Between Vester and Christine, an old barn on Alma Rich's homeplace, the Luther Irvin Place, was flattened, sending debris all over the Flat Pond field along KY 206 and the Tom Roy Road. Story of Luther Irvin's barn by his daughter, Alma Rich Farther up the road, at 7625 Liberty Road, at the home of Leslie Ann Schindler, the storm blew down huge ancient willow down over the car porch at 7625 Liberty Road. The Kentucky Highway Deparment has trees down on roads on KY 206, KY 61,and Sano Road. At the Wal-Mart in Columbia, KY, the downpour and winds were so great that most activity in the store stopped for approximately 15 minutes while anxious employees watched the for damage and customers waited for a let up in the lightning and blowing rains. The crowd was entertained by the sight of a shopping cart rolling across the length of two-thirds the store front onthe drive in front of the store, almost making a clean get away before overturning. Orby Yarberry's fruit stand's canvas roof was almost blown away, and the traffic lights at Hurt & Jamestown were almost horizontal from the force of the gale. At Flatwoods, the storm was rough. Lynne Darnell wrote from Majestic Acres, , "We had one heck of a storm out here in the Flatwoods," and sent some pictures of the damage at the family farm. "Needless to say, she said, "Our back deck and yard have seen better days." All of the Adair County Road Department highways which were reported yesterday afternoon had been cleared by 4:00pmCT, Gale Cowan, Finance Officer in the Adair County Judge Executive's office said at noon Wednesday, July 23, 2008. Workers who completed the work were ACRD Superintendent Jobe Darnell, Gary Samuell, Lonnie Page, Donnie Melson, Billy Cowan, Terry Williams, Tony Denton, and Tom Brock. "We did have a few more trees down across roads called in this morning," she said, "but they had that behind them before noon today. This story was posted on 2008-07-23 13:06:10
