Brief storm causes numerous power outages

While Bates County was under a Severe Thunderstorm Warning for less than 30 minutes, lightning and high winds were the cause of some 160 power outages in our area. Damages range from power lines that fell, blown transformer fuses, and a broken insulator that caused a minor fire on a pole.

Right now, crews are working quickly to restore power to everyone in the county. Another round of rain is headed our way over the next few hours, but is expected to be much quieter with little or no storms.
