Undated-- -Vicious thunderstorms caused damage, toppled trees, and interrupted utilities as they moved across South Alabama and the Florida panhandle. Authorities reported high winds destroyed two barns in Geneva Count y along blocking several roads after trees fell on them.
Coffee County didn’t fare any better with at least two dozen trees tumbling due to winds that appeared to reach near or possibly above 60-miles-per hour. “We’re still getting calls,” Coffee County EMA Director said at 9:30 p.m. He urged drivers to stay off the roads for non-essential travel because of debris on the roadway.He requested unless a true emergency callers should report issues should use the non-emergency phone number which are 334-894-0207 in Coffee County and 334-347-2222 for those requesting service in Enterprise. Lyons said the number of power outages in Coffee County had dwindled from about 1,000 to 300 as of 9:30 p.m. The bad weather was not unexpected as Chief Meteorologist David Paul and the News4 First Alert Team had declared this afternoon and evening a First Alert Weather Day. In Dothan, multiple fires were reported as a severe thunderstorm moved across the city. One was reported in the Chapelwood neighborhood and another an outdoor fire along Woodham Road.
