Individual pulse thunderstorm cells began to merge with an advancing larger line of thunderstorms, coming east, out of Kentucky.  As the cells merged, they gained strength and began to produce strong wind gusts.  The most damage was from trees falling on power lines.  About 4,000 customers were without electricity.  Roads were also blocked by fallen trees or large branches.  A localized strong wind gust of 76 mph was measured at Yeager Airport near Charleston.  That equalled the strongest gust on record there.  Yet, no damage was observed at the airport.  The adjacent Coonskin Park did have 6 to 12 large trees uprooted or snapped on hilltops.  The line of thunderstorms moved east, producing wind damage in Clay and Braxton Counties.  On the southern end of the line, the storms did scattered tree damage into Fayette and Raleigh Counties, while large hail fell in Wyoming County.
