Last night, Friday, June 29, 2012 a dandy storm passed
through the area. I was in Circleville and saw it coming. I stopped at Kroger
for gas and was in line behind a motorcycle. The power went out while the biker
was pumping gas. He waited a few minutes and then saddled up and took off,
riding in wind I wasn’t too comfortable driving in.
I thought I’d move on to Chillicothe to get a few things
from their Kroger. On Bridge Street the traffic lights were out and stores
closed. The storm had beat me. The same with Jackson. With the traffic lights
out, it took a long time to get through town. On Route 35 several trees along
the road were down. The patrol were parked with flashing lights warning
motorists of the hazard.
The worst of the storm I saw was in Rio Grande. At home we
lost the top of one tree and that was it. I was out early today to get a few
photos of the damage. Our power was out, but was restored at about 4:30 A.M.. Thank
you Buckeye Rural!
This row of trees was planted April 16, 1879 by George W. Eagle, Trustee and Treasurer of Rio Grande College on the Campus
of the University of Rio Grande. As you can see, several of them are down.
The baseball field at Rio sustained damage as well. I’m glad
I wasn’t in this “Johnny” when the storm hit.
Several trees were damaged at Valley View Apartments in Rio
Grande.
This house, close to Lynne Center had roof damage.
Just to be neighborly, I stopped by the Amish bakery to make
sure everything was OK. Everything was good!
We’re supposed to have another storm tonight, so I’d better
cut this off and get it posted. Stay safe and I’ll see you soon.
