Crews assess overnight damage after radar-confirmed tornadoes in Warren County
Very good, Randi. THANK YOU. AND OF COURSE WE ARE GETTING OUR FIRST VIEW THIS MORNING OF SOME OF THE DAMAGE CAUSED BY THIS SEVERE WEATHER OVERNIGHT. A LOT OF WORK THIS MORNING FOR THE NATIONAL WEATHER SERVICE TEAMS. They will need to determine exactly how many tornadoes hit our area last night. AND WE’RE LEADING THE WAY WITH LIVE TEAM COVERAGE IN WARREN AND BUTLER COUNTY, WHERE WE’VE SEEN THE WORST DAMAGE YET, PLUS CONTINUING FLOODING CONCERNS. THIS MORNING. YEAH. SO WE’LL START WITH OUR CO-ANCHOR, STEVEN ALBRITTON. IT’S LIVE FOR US IN WARREN COUNTY THIS MORNING WHERE WE HAVE SEEN RADAR CONFIRMED TORNADOES MOVING THROUGH THIS AREA. STEPHEN, WHAT DO YOU SEE THERE NOW? Well, right now, Mason Morrow Mill Grove Road, just north of Tomorrow, is still closed because of what’s behind us. An electric pole broken in two. You cut the power lines to approximately 200 customers without power in that area. WAITING FOR DUKE ENERGY TO GET OUT HERE AND CLEAN THINGS UP, WE GOT THE CHAINSAWS HERE FROM THE TREE CREWS TO CLEAN THINGS UP SO YOU CAN COME IN, BUT NOW AS THE SUN STARTS TO RISE, I’M STILL I I’m going to use this flashlight. BUT YOU CAN JUST SEE THE POWER OF THESE TORNADOES CONFIRMED BY RADAR. And you can see broken trees halfway up. Luckily, no one lives here, but you can see a massive tree, lots of debris all around, and the destruction continues there with, uh, branches broken off high up and thrown to the ground. Really like toothpicks. AGAIN. In this house, on our left, we saw people putting down tarpaulins. We saw them putting up boards because they had some damage, we couldn’t talk to them because we’re on this side of where things went down. BUT AGAIN, THIS IS NOT THE ONLY PLACE WHERE WE SAW OTHER DAMAGE ALONG THE STORM PATH, CLOSER TO CLARKSVILLE. THIS VIDEO CAME FROM GUM GROVE ROAD NEAR US 22. WE SAW A BARN THAT APPEARED TO COLLAPSE. Firefighters were on site to check. NOW WE WERE ABLE TO KEEP OUR DISTANCE TO LET THE FIREFIGHTERS DO THE WORK THEY NEED TO DO TO FIX THINGS. Do you hear those chainsaws? DO YOU SEE THESE CHAINSAWS GOING? IT’S A SIMILA

Warren County crews worked through the night to remove wires and branches from roadways following storms Tuesday night into early Wednesday morning. Trees fell on Mason-Morrow-Millgrove Road, taking down power lines with them. Chainsaws can be heard and seen Wednesday morning as crews work to clean up the area. The storm’s path extended east near Clarksville, where we also saw heavy damage to a barn on Gum Grove Road, just off US 22. I don’t know if anyone was injured, but our crews saw firefighters checking the scene overnight. WLWT’s Steven Albritton is live in Morrow Wednesday morning as crews work to repair the damage.
