Much of Dothan is still in the dark.
The Wiregrass possessed a ripe atmosphere for strong thunderstorms today as hot temperatures and abundant moisture at the surface provided the fuel for many storm clouds to build.
Separate thunderstorms in Dale County and Henry County converged before traveling south into Houston County around 5:00 PM, combining their energy to create a severe thunderstorm that produced heavy rain, plentiful lightning, and wind gusts between 65-75 mph. The storm knocked multiple trees down and cut electricity for many residents around the Wiregrass. After a few hours, hundreds of locations are still without power in Houston County.
Electrical crews have been on site and working on restoring the power since 5:30 PM after the storm tracked further south into Florida.
