Strong storms bloom in the heat; widespread tree damage

Strong and nearly stationary thunderstorms bloomed over several counties Thursday evening with pockes of flash flooding and widespread tree damage through western Kentucky and northern Tennessee.

The main culprit in the damage was straight-line wind estimated at 60 miles per hour. Some isolated areas also got a quick 1 to 3 inches of rain that caused flash flooding, especially along the Kentucky/Tennessee line.

Damage reports came in to the National Weather Service from 4:20 pm until 7:30 pm including:

Trees down in Christian and Todd counties, along with 3/4-inch hail.

Several trees overturned and uprooted in Calloway County; a transformer was blown in the county, and a lot of tree damage was reported on the Murray State campus.

About a dozen trees were reported down in Graves County.

Tree damage was reported southeast of Symsonia, and a large tree snapped in Reidland where 3/4-inch hail was also reported.

In Clarksville, Nevels Chapel Missionary Baptist Church had its steeple pushed over by a strong burst of wind.
