Severe thunderstorms expected tonight could slow the restoration of power to Montgomery County.
“Utility companies are working hard to get the power on,” said Montgomery County Emergency Operations Center (EOC) Director Allan Pratt.
More than 70 homes throughout the county received either major or minor damage, and 11 were destroyed, Pratt said.
Damage has been reported on Billingsley Baskin Road, Mississippi Highway 82, Highway 51, Highway 407, Enterprise Drive, Hidden Hollow, Poor House Road, Bethlehem Church and Bethlehem Community Road, Pratt said.
“No major injuries have been reported to 911, and there were no fatalities [reported in Montgomery County],” he said.
Cases of water and “a very limited number of tarps” are available in the parking lot of the EOC if anyone affected by the storm needs them, Pratt said.
