Storms knock out power, trees

BROOKSVILLE - A line of heavy thunderstorms late Tuesday caused power outages and tree damage in eastern Hernando County, officials said.

Hernando County Fire Rescue Assistant Chief Frank DeFrancesco said that the damage did not seem to come from a tornado.

"From what I can tell, it's mostly been high winds," DeFrancesco said.

Scattered power outages were reported along Cedar Lane and Griffin Road. The areas of Spring Lake and Ridge Manor also reported isolated damage from falling trees.
