Reported by: NEWSPAPER

The Columbus Ledger Enquirer newspaper, Columbus television station WTVM, as well as local emergency management officials reported widespread storm damage to much of the Historic District and surroundings areas of Columbus.  The damage was caused by a strong gust front preceding a line of early morning thunderstorms.  Wind gusts of 61 mph were measured by the ASOS unit at the Columbus airport, but winds were believed to have gusted to near 80 mph in the downtown Historic District of Columbus.  Extensive and widespread damage occurred to trees, power lines, and structures throughout the Columbus area, particular in the Martin Luther King Jr. Boulevard and Brown Avenue areas.  Martin Luther King Boulevard, as well as Columbus thoroughfares north of Victory Drive and south of Peachtree Mall, were strewn with fallen oaks, splintered pines, and other debris, temporarily blocking traffic.  Damage consisted of 47 trees, some of which were very large, old oak trees, 17 power lines, and 20 traffic lights.  One home was badly damaged when a large oak tree fell across the roof, barely missing the occupant sleeping inside.  Damage was also reported at the Columbus RedStixx baseball park where the awning of the office was ripped off, 2 dugouts roofs were damaged, and 3 sets of bleachers were blown on to the playing field.  In addition, a firefighter on his way to a call was injured when a power line junction box was blown down and through the window of his fire truck.
