Wednesday Night Storm

Thousands of people in Tom Green County lost power as a storm blew through San Angelo last night. Winds topped 60 miles an hour, according to the National Weather Service, knocking down trees and power lines. As a result, American Electric Power says more than 21-thousand customers were without power and some might not have it restored until today or later. Damage reportedly included a collapsed barn or similar structure in Grape Creek. And, according to the Standard Times, there was extensive damage at the Multi-Chem building on Sunset Drive and a scoreboard at Old Bobcat Stadium blew over.
