An isolated thunderstorm knocked out power along the Effingham/Clay County line Sunday afternoon.

Michelle Flowers sent us this photo of conditions near the Mason/Eberle Road. She told us via Facebook that, "we have damage to our house, shingles and soffeting ripped off, and tree limbs down, it was a crazy storm"

A strong burst of wind knocked power poles at enough of an angle to cause the power interruption. Effingham County Sheriff's Department summoned AmerenCIPS workers to make repairs and restore electric service.
