By early morning Tuesday, Oak Ridge had felt the effects of storms coming through the area.
The city shared to its Facebook page reports of hail in Harriman and Oak Ridge from local TV station WBIR. Still, however, as of 10:34 a.m., city Communications Specialist Lauren Grey stated there had been “nothing significant an/or life threatening.”
In an email, she said “a couple of trees” fell and the rain caused “minor flooding” along Poplar Creek.
She also said the city did not experience any widespread power outages. She said there were three small outages which occurred at different times. Together, 18 customers lost power, all of which had been restored as of 10:34 a.m., she stated. All scheduled maintenance work had temporarily stopped.
