Soaking Rains and Straight Line Winds Leave Their Mark

Heavy storms traveled across the midstate Saturday night and Sunday morning.  Straightline winds caused damage across Cannon  and DeKalb County.

Middle Tennessee Electric reported multiple outages.  The continued rain is blamed for erosion along River Road and made a section of the road impassable.  The county road crew is expected to start restoration of the area today. One section of the road is closed near Short Mountain School.

Rain soaked soil aided by straight line winds toppled trees causing damage to homes and buildings.

Utilities companies worked a bulk of the day to restore services to customers.
