Storms leave 1,600 without electricity

Two storms that rolled through the area Wednesday night left about 1,100 Salt River Electric customers in Nelson County and 500 in Washington County without power for a few hours.

Nicky Rapier, a spokesman for the member-owned rural electric cooperative, said Thursday morning the first storm, which came through the Brush Grove area about 8:45 p.m., knocked out power for about 454 customers in and around Chaplin and 500 in nearby Washington County.

“We got all those back on about 11 p.m.,” Rapier said.
