Storm leaves thousands in the state without power

January 30, 2008|Katheran Wasson

Officials say thunderstorms and high winds have knocked power out for thousands across Kentucky and injured at least one person at a mall in southwestern Kentucky.

In Winchester, the Fire Department responded to a fallen tree at 145 Linden Ave. at 10:02 p.m. The tree landed across the front yard and driveway.

Aluminum sheeting that blew loose from a carport at 203 Crawford Court struck a power line at 3:43 a.m. today, and the line shorted out and burned in half. The owner, Alva Crowe, reported some light smoke in his basement, but firefighters found no signs of fire.

Kentucky Utilities repaired the line.

The Associated Press contributed to this report.
