It was actually last night’s storms that gave me the idea of having weather alerts blogged. (Which is why I hate the idea of having to rely on outlook to foward the messages to the blog. If my power goes out all posts would be delayed until the problem was fixed.)
As far as damage here, in Harrison County, there were several trees down throughout the county. I do not know the number of effected homes in Harrison County, but I know that the neighborhood in which I live was without power for roughly four hours. We lost power around 6:30p.m., and it wasn’t restored until around 10:30p.m.
