Pittsburg County Emergency Crews Say Storm Damage, Flooding Could Have Been Worse
Pittsburg County Emergency Management says they are lucky to have minimal damage after severe storms rolled through Monday evening.
Community members tell us the high winds and heavy rains made this storm a scary one to watch but they feel fortunate as the sun came out and they looked around there wasn’t much damage.
Trinity Humbles said he was sitting on her porch watching the storm when she looked up and saw rotation in the clouds, so she grabbed her phone and started filming. She said she grabbed her son and ran to the bathroom to take cover until the storm had passed.
