After the noon break Ronnie Corbin, pilots part of the Ingersoll-Rand paver back to the work site, with a few members of the finest crew aboard. A mark of this crew's quality work, Judge Melton said, is that when the second lane is paved, it will join so smoothly with the first that the joint will be undetectable to the touch.

Two storms in Adair County make roads a mess during night

State, county, and city crews have been working to clear damage from storm just before midnight, second one at around 1:30amCT, this morning, August 5, 2010. Coincidentally, one year ago to the day, on August 4, 2009, straight line winds caused major damage in Adair County. Story and photos, August 4, 2009 storm

By Ed Waggener

Two separate storms overnight made a mess of county roads, making some impassable for a good part of the night, as the Kentucky Highway Department, the Adair County Road Department, the Adair County Search and Rescue Team (SAR) and the City of Columbia crews have worked feverishly to clear the roads to have them ready for the start of school this morning.

From early reports, Knifley was hardest hit. "I don't know whether it was a tornado or just straight line winds, but trees were around Callahan Loop and on Elkhorn Road," Adair County Judge Ann Melton said. "We've been getting calls all night. I don't know what we'll find when people wake up."
