Strong winds flattened power poles and a couple of barns in Sumner County last night. More than a dozen utility poles were blown over south of Corbin, Sumner County Emergency Management director James Fair said.
A small shed was knocked down by Corbin, and a machine shed being built on the south edge of Perth was destroyed. A friend sent me a couple of photos of the damage.
The strong winds appear to be the result of a thunderstorm collapsing, Fair said. That send winds blasting out in all directions as they fell to the ground and flattened out.
“The wind in Corbin was coming out of the east,” Fair said. “The wind from the Perth area was south going north.”
