Kentucky edition spoke to Maysville Mayor about the damage there.
As we continue our weather and storm coverage.
We have significant damage across the city.
We haven't got it substantiated yet, but that was the reading that we got was the 114mph.
And we are asking the National Weather Service to come in and do an assessment of whether there was actually tornadoes or straight winds, but, it was very, very strong and very damaging.
Especially to the trees and then to the properties as well.
That is scary for some of our residents, but thankfully, to my knowledge, no one has been hurt.
There were four roads that were shut down, but there were there were a lot more roads with actual damage and trees down.
Once the electric companies got the power, the power turned off.
It was safe for our guys.
Then they could go in, remove the trees and open up the streets.
Because there were several streets that had to be closed early this morning because of the power lines down and the trees down.
We did a post out, you know, just if there's emergencies, getting those people that live on those streets, being able to get out and to get services if there is emergencies there, and then otherwise it's to get those streets back open, to get the debris up so that it's not a hazardous to because the folks that are out and about and then helping our businesses and our citizens get their electric and anything else they need back in order again.
It's making sure that everybody is safe.
And that's our first priority is personal safety for folks.
And then to make sure that they have their utilities working and back on, and then helping, just kind of get their lives back together and, you know, some have reached out already wanting to know if it was a tornado because it makes a difference on their insurance.
So doing all the follow up that comes afterwards and providing that information to our citizens.
So they, they have it give what's needed.
That's important as we go forward and just being there to support them, help them through whatever they need.
We're a very close knit, caring community, and, people are always jumping in to help their neighbors and just make sure they have what they need.
