extremely high winds…

The winds from what had been Ike are really whipping in the area. There are (unsurprisingly) reports of trees and lines down throughout the county. A few minutes ago, it was reported that a window was blown out of the side of the City Hall building (a city fire unit is responding to investigate).
Most of the Cynthiana Fire Department has been dispatched to various parts of the city to respond to limbs being down, and other reports of sparking or arching power lines. One of the last more interesting reports was of a downed tree on Broadway, which had tangled into some lines, fallen, and landed on top of a parked car.
Needless to say, caution is advised for anyone who is outdoors and in or around any vessel, vehicle, or structure which may be affected by these strong gusts of winds…
…as of this moment, the NWS hasn’t published any reports of damage in Cynthiana.
