Storms swept across the region Friday afternoon with only minor damage in Murray. Part of the roof belonging to BobNanney Insurance, at 107 North 4th Street, was blown off the building but with no other reported damages or injuries according to dispatch at the Murray Police Department.
Karen Guse was close when gusts of wind reaching an estimated 60 mph hit the downtown area.
"The roof just started coming off and swirling around and a piece has fallen down...that's my car. It was a little freaky," said Guse.
Kelly Hooper with the National Weather Service in Paducah reports a lighting strike was believed to have hit a substation knocking out power for the entire city for about 15 minutes, and two trees were affected. Otherwise Murray is the only area with reported damages in the region.
