November 2022 Tri-Cities Windstorm Leaves 1000’s Without Power
My wife pulled out of our house the morning after a rough night of high winds that reports are saying pushed 100+ miles per hour and discovered a huge tree in the road from our neighbor’s house.
Thousands were left without power with downed power lines and trees that caused headaches and frustrations across Benton and Franklin counties.
We asked you to share some of your photos of the destruction left behind and the work that remains to clean up the mess.
We received over 200 photos and I thought I’d share some of the photos submitted from your submissions even though there is a lot of damage, I’m glad no one was hurt.
