LINCOLN COUNTY, W.Va. (WSAZ) -- It happened again.

Storms that passed through the area on Tuesday afternoon knocked out power to more than 2,500 Lincoln County residents.

Included in those numbers is Cremeans Auto in Branchland. That business didn’t have power for six days following the June 29 storm.

"We can only do so much work. We can't run the compressor; we can't make our lifts go up and down, so we've been crawling underneath some cars and doing what we can with hand tools but without air -- it limits how much you can do when you don't have those air tools," said Marcus Blackmon of Cremeans Auto.

The grocery store next door also lost power again.

And no power means no money for these local businesses.

"I'd say business today was down 60 maybe 70 percent from normal. This is normally solid cars here. If you drive by on a normal day, this lot is filled with cars down the side of the building," Blackmon said.

They have a generator up and running, but it can’t power everything they need to keep customers driving in and out.

So they’re pretty much hoping Mother Nature starts cooperating.

"The majority of the problems are these trees falling on the lines is what the majority of the problem is," Blackmon said. "It's not Appalachian Power's equipment. It's mostly trees taking out their equipment, and that's the problem. We need to have some sort of a program to get out here and cut the right-of-ways off these lines."
