CHARLESTON, W.Va. (WSAZ) -- Appalachian Power is reporting that more than 16,000 customers are without power after a strong line of storms moved through our region.
According to AEP's website just before 10pm Sunday, the outages stand at:
Boone: 212
Cabell: 2,245
Jackson: 519
Kanawha: 306
Lincoln: 1,705
Logan: 2,881
Putnam: 151
Raleigh: 477
Wayne: 7,798
The storms raced through Kentucky, Ohio, and West Virginia late Sunday evening, knocking down trees and causing property damage.
The National Weather Service issued many severe thunderstorm warnings -- each with the capability of producing winds up to or exceeding 60 mph and penny-size hail.
A WSAZ viewer submitted pictures of what appeared to be a funnel cloud, but Meteorologist Josh Fitzpatrick said it was more than likely what's called a "scud cloud." Fitzpatrick said those can look a lot like funnels.
In Greenup County, dispatchers report that lightning hit near the 911 center at about 7:30pm, causing telephone and radio systems to go down for a short while.
Also, in South Shore, Kentucky, dispatchers tell us a construction trailer was blown into a house. There was minor damage.
