STRONG STORMS BARREL ACROSS CHEROKEE COUNTY FROM TUESDAY EVENING TO EARLY WEDNESDAY

Beginning shortly after 6:00pm – and lasting throughout the evening and overnight – Cherokee County experienced strong thunderstorms with heavy rainfall and at times high winds, leading to some power outages.  The rough weather also included a great deal of cloud-to-ground lightning.

Here at WEIS Radio we saw 5.1 inches of rain in less than 12 hours.

We urge motorists to slow down, and watch for standing water in the roadways – and downed limbs or trees along back roads.
