Jackson County - Tropical storm force wind gusts swept through Jackson County on Wednesday afternoon, knocking out electric service and bringing down limbs and even some pine trees.
Wind gusts of over 50 miles per hour were reported at the height of the storm, which swept through the county between 3:30 and 4:30 p.m. Even before the main storm, however, sustained high winds began bringing down trees and limbs and knocking out electric service for many residents.
Two significant outages were reported affecting numerous homes. In the Parramore area of eastern Jackson County, electric power was out for roughly four hours until hard-working crews were able to restore service.
No injuries or serious damage were reported.
