CLARKSVILLE, Tenn. - Residents are assessing the damage from severe thunderstorms that whipped through Clarksville late Thursday.
High winds toppled trees, downed traffic signals, and dashed street lights causing traffic delays and severe damage to several historic homes on Madison Street.
Crews from Clarksville Street Department and Clarksville Police were on the job quickly to restore lights and direct traffic at several busy intersections, where traffic was backed up due to the damage.
Residents who lost power during Wednesday’s storms are enduring another day as a second round of heavy weather knocked out power to thousands of homes.
Crews from Clarksville Department of Electricity crews are working in all of the affected areas to restore power as soon as possible.
