A strong cold front swept through the middle Ohio River Valley and central Appalachians on the 20th. This brought a round of gusty winds which led to scattered tree damage and power outages. One of the hardest hit counties was Kanawha, where over 14,000 customers lost power. The ASOS at Yeager Airport measured a wind gust of 45 mph. A home along Toledo Avenue in Kanawha City has some siding blown off due to the winds, and a home in South Charleston had a punctured roof after a tree fell on it. It took nearly two days for all the power outages to be fixed.
Several thousand power outages also occurred in Cabell, Logan, Lincoln, Mason, Putnam, Raleigh and Wayne Counties. The ASOS at Raleigh County Airport measured a gust of 49 knots.
AEP reported a total of 17 transmission lines were taken out in West Virginia, knocking multiple substation offline.
