WEATHER ALERT:
We’re receiving numerous reports of trees down, including several just moments ago on Highway 76 at Oakland. If you’re out this evening, use caution—some trees may still be unstable from last week’s storm, and the wet conditions are likely causing them to fall, and we’re getting reports of strong wind gusts.
Currently, about 50 homes are without power, with most outages reported in the southern part of Robertson County. That number may rise as more reports come in.
