September 14, 2008: Widespread wind damage in the region…

  Here are some photos, that I took, from Paducah/Lone Oak/McCracken County.  Ike tracked through Southern Illinois this morning.  Pressure readings were down to 991 MB – or 29.20 something.  VERY high winds swept through the area…gusts over 70 MPH were reported in several counties.  We had sustained winds over 35 mph here in Lone Oak.  Several gusts over 70 mph.
