Hail, Strong Winds Visit Thursday Night

No reports have been received of major damage from storms that passed through the Effingham area Thursday night.

Reports were heard about large tree branches down and inch-sized hail. The main storm system seemed to travel west-to-east in the north part of Effingham County, roughly from Beecher City to Shumway to Sigel and on east. One storm was reported in the Edgewood area, but the others seemed to stay north of the city of Effingham.

We did receive one inch of rain at our studios at Fayette and Willow.
