Straight line winds cause damage Monday afternoon Power outage for much of city for approximately 1 hour, Windstream land line service down over two hours. Damage reported from Greensburg St, Merchant Street, Fairground Street, and along 1.5 miles of Bull Run Road. Click on headline for complete story plus photos as added By Ed Waggener Straight line winds caused considerable damage across a narrow path stretching from the corner of High and Greensburg Streets in Columbia to one mile out Bull Run Creek this afternoon, Monday, April 13, 2009. Steve and Jennifer Earnhart, Norfork, VA, saw the winds blow up while taking a walk at the windmill on Gobbler's Knob above Bull Run Road. The Earnharts were revisiting the site, where they were married six years ago. "Susan Lynn (Barbee) drove up to get us," Steve Earnhart recalls. "We got in her car and watched as the winds flattened the grass and we could see leaves and limbs blowing around over Columbia." It was a fierce sight, Earnhart said, later. He reported on the storm while at the home of his wife's great aunt, Alta Garnett, where a shade tree in the front yard had been blown down over two cars and limbs were out into Greensburg ST. Electricity in most of Columbia was off from approximately 3:45pm to around 5:00pm, and Windstream land telephone service was down for almost one more hour. Greensburg Street blocked by downed tree A tree on the lawn of the Garnett house at Greensburg ST and S. High Street was blown down, hitting cars belonging to Pat Hare and her daughter, Cindi Alexander, and blocking traffic for approximately 2 hours from High and Greensburg Street to Monroe Street. Workmen from the KY Highway Department, the City of Columbia Street Department, KU, Windstream, and the fire department were on the scene. The cars suffered little, if any, immediately detectable damage, but the rock wall in front of the house was damaged, and some of the drystone mansonry will need repairs, Louis McQueary of Stotts-Phelps-McQueary Funeral Home said. Minor damage on roof of regional jail The aluminum garage-style canopy over rooftop mechanicals on the Adair County Regional Jail was lifted from its moorings and set back some ten feet. Other damage in Columbia:
Bull Run Road was a mess of trees and roof damage. Traffic was allowed through but limbs and roof debris required several Adair County Sheriff's Department and Constable traffic control points along the road. As many as a dozen or more large creek side trees were laid across the creek, toward the roadway, just east of the bridge near Chickadee Lane. On out Bull Run Road, the big red barn near the roadside on the Bruce and Sheila Willis farm was flattened. Just beyond, at the 1.525 mile point, some roofing had minor damage at the home of Dennis and Renee Reeves, though their next door neighbors Barbara and Wayne Armitage, had found no damage from the storm.
