PRESS RELEASE
Mayor Henry Royse is advising that travelers in the city of Glasgow need to be cautious this morning. A large tree fell completely across Columbia Avenue in front of Eastbrook Estates trailer park near Glasgow High School. Power lines are wrapped up in this tree which will slow down the process of moving it. Other trees are reported to be blocking the road at Woodlawn Avenue, also along Highway 63.
Almost 3 inches of rain was recorded overnight. Glasgow-Barren County Emergency Management has reported water removal from at least two homes in the county and several other homes reported with water rising. EM director Garland Gilliam says that at least 10,000 customers in Barren County were without power as of 3:30 a.m.
Again, use extra caution. Workers have not been able to reach all the affected areas.
Multiple trees, including this one on Columbia Avenue at Eastbrook Estates near Glasgow High School, were downed by Sunday night's thunderstorm that also brought torrential rain. SUBMITTED PHOTO
