Officials with Pennyrile Rural Electric reported power outages affecting the Pembroke and Oak Grove areas in Christian County, the Clifty and Rosewood areas in Todd County, and scattered outages in Trigg County. At one point, more than 3000 customers were without power, most in Christian and Todd County. In the immediate aftermath of the storms, both industrial parks had lost power.
